Problems reading date format cells

[Lívia Silva Santos <li...@sfw.com.br>]

Hi everybody,

My name is Livia and i've been using the POI API for a while.
But now i'm having some problems.

I create an excel file dynamictly, and one column of these file must 
accpet only date cells. But the problem is that when i read this file, 
if an user write an corretly date, it's ok, i read this cell by the 
getDateCellData method. But if this cell returns a String data, how can 
I verify is its in the right format ("dd/MM/YYYY").

And one more question, how can I format a cell and then trunc it (so the 
user cannot change the format of that cell)???? It would be useful on 
this case!

I would like to know it! If anyone would help me, i would be glad! :-)

Lívia
