[Tutor] date problems

[Eric Meigs]

I want to create a program to tell me when I am supposed to do things.
I have a text file with dates like  4-4-2010' as well as other data. I 
want to read in this date into my code and then compare it with 
'date.today()'
example 'if /variable/ >= today:'
I don't see how to read in a string and get it into a format for comparison.

I can do all of the other code.
