A StringTokenizer parses up a String into Tokens using a delimiter(sp?). So if you had the string "Hello|okay|alright" and you wanted the | to be a delimiter then you'd create a StringTokenizer, the syntax would be:
String theString = new String("Hello|okay|alright"
;
StringTokenizer theTokenizer = new StringTokenizer(theString, "|"
If you give no delimiter, by default a space counts as a delimiter, you could parse a Date String using the default I would think. But I would also look at the GregorianCalendar Class if you're wanting to extract compotents of a Date.
String theString = new String("Hello|okay|alright"
;StringTokenizer theTokenizer = new StringTokenizer(theString, "|"

So if my string containing a date "21/05/02", I would want the delimeter in this case to be "/". I want the user to input the date though? Then I want to convert the day, month and year into int values to display. What would the class for this look like?

Java has a class just for the purpose of parsing dates. It is java.text.SimpleDateFormat.
