Date Validation

[Ashwin Kumar]

Hi,

I am using swing application and trying to validate the entered date should be of mm-dd-yyyy format. How can I check the entered date is mm-dd-yyyy format.?,

try {
    Date date = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy").parse(dateString);
} catch(Exception e) {
    System.out.println("Not in proper format  :(  ");
}

Do remember that in SimpleDateFormat, you need to use MM for months. mm means minutes.
