Data handling using TMAP

[daez]

Hello everyone,

So im trying to transform data using a Tmap. Im struggling with my last column.

My input looks like : 10.03.2020 14:52:33 (so dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss)

I need the output to be : 20200310145233 (so yyyyMMddHHmmss)

I believe its coming in as a string format. I tried to use formatdate but encounter exception. So i did handle it with stringhandling but got caught.

I did use .replace to delete : / space and . like that : row1.date == null || row.date.equals("") ? "error":row1.date.replace(".","")

.replace(" ","").replace(":","")

So im getting ddMMyyyyHHmmss and i tried to substring all but i cant find a way.

Any help ? If you use formatdate please remind its a string input and i will need some type clarification since i didnt find first

Thanks a lot

Hi @Bourgin Benoit​ ,

You could use TalendDate.parseDate() function in talend get the required output.

Please go through below url for type conversion.
