Compare two dates

[Anonymous]

In a tmap component I would like to compare two dates

The first one has the format "dd-MM-yyyy"
The seconde one has teh format "yyyyMMdd"

I have tried :

TalendDate.compareDate(row1.date_expedition, row2.DATELOG,"dd-MM-yyyy")

I have the following message : "La méthode compareDate() du type TalendJavaSourceViewer7.TalendDateStruct ne
 s'applique pas aux arguments (Date, Date, String)"

In english , something like "You cannot use it with arguments (Date, Date, String"

What is the best solution?

Thanks

Didier

Hi,

What's your expected result? For TalendDate.compareDate(Date date1, Date date2, String pattern) method, the result whether two date is the same, if first one less than second one return number -1, equlas  * return number 0, bigger than return number 1.

Best regards
Sabrina

  not apply to arguments (Date, Date, String)
