I'm getting an error converting a string to a date. It tells me that its an unparseable date. The input date looks like this

2/19/2019 17:23. I'm trying to convert it to a date without the time.

@gfred ,for this kind of data first you need to as seconds portion to the source and need to convert,please check the below screen shoot.

TalendDate.parseDate("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss",Var.var1)

otherwise with same data you wan to get only "dd-MM-yyyy" portion can be done with below way also.

TalendDate.parseDate("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm",row1.col)
