    Run through a for loop from 1 to strlen(yourstring). Set 2 int variables to hold position of last "/" and current "/". On each iteration of the loop test to see if you've encountered a "/" if you have use the 2 position-holding int's to get the section of data you need. Set your variable to that data (after you convert it from
    int to char/string).

    Code:
    char     *pStart=NULL,sString[64];
    
    pStart=sString;//set to the start of the buffer
    while(*pStart!='\0')
    {
       iNumber1=atoi(pStart);
       while(*pStart++ != '/');
       iNumber2=atol(pStart);
       while(*pStart++ != '/');
       iNumber3=atoi(pStart);
    }
    PS try storing the dates as a long

    30 April 2002 = 30042002 (depending where you live)
    and writting some functions to convert between them.
    Some macros like
    #define GETDAY(lDate) (lDate / 1000000)
    #define GETMONTH(lDate) ((lDate / 10000) % 100)
    #define GETYEAR(lDate) (lDate % 10000)

    will help
