to get the values from string tokenizer

I have written the code to spit the string i.e birthdate,I want to store it in 3 different vaiables how to do it. (Mday=1,Mmonth=1,MYear=2011).I am getting birtdate dynamically.also I am getting values in token.

StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(BirtDate, "/");
                while (st.hasMoreElements()) {
                    String token = st.nextToken();
                    System.out.println("Token = " + token);
                }

One better way could be to use date formatter and object as below:

     DateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
     Date date = format.parse("1/1/2012");
     //Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
     Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
     cal.setTime(date);
     int day = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);//You may want to add 1
     int month = cal.get(Calendar.MONTH);
     int year= cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);

Please note: Month starts from 0, so you may want to add 1.

StringTokenizer is a legacy class that is retained for compatibility reasons although its use is discouraged in new code. It is recommended that anyone seeking this functionality use the split method of String or the java.util.regex package instead

See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/StringTokenizer.html

Use instead

String[] token = BirtDate.split("/")
