Find if date is between two dates
I have three dates stored as strings as mmddyyyy
one is start
two is end
three is entered by user
I want to see if three is between one and two.
I've looked through the calendar class at sun and am confused about it.
This needs to be done in JSP

Use SimpleDateFormat to first parse them into Dates and then use the before() and after() methods to check if date is between the two.
yup thats the second method which I forgot to mention ( thanks Objects)

I've got it. Thanks to all who helped and many of the answers did so im gonna split the points up.
:)
one which is easy wd go something like this..
convert all the dates in YYYYMMDD
convert them in number and see if third number falls within the range.. ( simple mathmatics)..
since you have got them in string format all you will have to do with each of them is..
String date1 = request.getParameter("date
if(date1!=null &&date1.length()=8)
{
String years=date1.subString(4);
String rest = date1.subString(0,4);
date1=years+rest;
}
int ncdate1=new Integer(date1).intValue();
Do the same stuff with all three and after that is a small if condition as
if(ndat1<ndate2<ndate3)
{
yes
}
// PS I am very pethatic with substring numbers so please check them before using the above code as is..
