String to Date Conversion

[Anonymous]

I have a string like "20111212120110" (string format) . 

My task is to convert it into date format like 2011/12/12/ 12:01:10 (date datatype) in Talend

I tried inside tMap ,

TalendDate.parseDate("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss",row1.Date)... but showing error .

where ---> row1.Date = "20111212120110"

parseDate - convert String to Date, so and format must be not for output date (it will always the same), but format for string

in your case "yyyyddMMHHmmss" or similar because from your sample date not very clean - where months and where days
