I have a string like
8/29/2011 11:16:12 AM
. I want to split that string into separate variables like
date = 8/29/2011
time = 11:16:12 AM
Is this possible? If so, how would I do it?

One way to do is parse it to a date object and reformat it again:
try {
DateFormat f = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");
Date d = f.parse("8/29/2011 11:16:12 AM");
DateFormat date = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
DateFormat time = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss a");
System.out.println("Date: " + date.format(d));
System.out.println("Time: " + time.format(d));
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
If you just want to slice it into date-time pieces, just use split to get pieces
String date = "8/29/2011 11:16:12 AM";
String[] parts = date.split(" ");
System.out.println("Date: " + parts[0]);
System.out.println("Time: " + parts[1] + " " + parts[2]);
or
String date = "8/29/2011 11:16:12 AM";
System.out.println("Date: " + date.substring(0, date.indexOf(' ')));
System.out.println("Time: " + date.substring(date.indexOf(' ') + 1));
