how to manupulate dates

[davidchew]

How do I convert a date like 14/03/1974 23hr 10minutes 23 secs as a java date, so
that java can recognised it. And then How do I subtract current date() from that date above
so that I can get the exact difference in seconds.

What do you mean by "date like 14/03/1974 23hr 10minutes 23" ? Is it a String ?If that's the case , You can use SimpleDateFormat Class
