I have a similar problem trying to get a written date of birth to calculate the age.

How is the written date going to be input? (eg. 12/12/12 or dec. 12 2012, or whatever)

What have you tried? We're happy to help, but you should post a fully-formed question. You'll be much more likely to get a satisfactory response if you include your code attempt along with its output, expected output, etc. (See link in my signature for more details.)
