String[] : cut a Date every "/"

[Grégoire Berclaz]

Hello,
I am French and we write dates : "dd/MM/yyyy". I like to save dates in a SQL DB and the format is "yyyy/MM/dd". How can I cut a date every "/"? I like to have an array of String...
Tk you very much

Probably the simplest way would be to use the split() method of String. For example:

public class DateSplit {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String date = "dd/MM/yyyy";
        String[] split = date.split("/", 3);
        for (int i = 0; i < split.length; i++) {
            System.out.println(split[i]);
        }
    }
}

That will print out:

dd
MM
yyyy

You would need to reverse the array, but since there are always three elements that should be no problem.
