When I print it. it gives me result like :
When : Wed 18 Apr 2012 04:30 to Wed 18 Apr 2012 06:30

If I understand well, you have as input the string:
When : Wed 18 Apr 2012 04:30 to Wed 18 Apr 2012 06:30
Who: [email protected]
Event status : Confirmed.
And you want to get as output three strings (or an array of strings) containing respectively:
whenString="Wed 18 Apr 2012 04:30 to Wed 18 Apr 2012 06:30"
whoString="[email protected]"
eventString="Confirmed."
If this is the case, then
String[] lines = source.split("\n+");
int index = lines[0].indexOf("When");
String whenString = lines[0].substring(index+7);
index = lines[1].indexOf("Who");
String whoString = lines[1].substring(index+5);
index = lines[2].indexOf("Event status");
String whoString = lines[2].substring(index+15);

If there are single new line characters in between the 3 lines then use this :
String splitLine[] = String.split("\\r?\\n");

String[] parts = resultString.split("\n+");
This will split your string by enters (\n+ means one or more new line symbol) and store parts in parts array
