Groovy How to change DateTime as dd-MM-yyyy
Hello,
I have to compare 2 different files that I'm doing with a Groovy script.
For the first file, the date is as dd-MM-yyyy. The second file is in yyyy-MM-dd.
How can I change the second date in the format of the first one please?
The code where this should be emplemented (2nd file) is as thus:
//------------Concepts - Validity - Dates
def getDates(it, dateToSearch) {
// Find date in all validity nodes for this specific concept
def dateNode = it.validity.find{it.startDate == dateToSearch}
// Set dummy value to empty string
def date = ""
// If we found the date, get the value!
if (dateNode != null) { date = dateNode.value }
return date
}
I'm writing this to a textfile as such:
parsedJson.concepts.each {
dynamic = ""
addToCsvLine(it.keyValue);
//log the startDate
addToCsvLine(it.validity.startDate)
// Remove last char ","
dynamic = dynamic.substring(0, dynamic.length() - 1);
//insert a new line
dynamic += '\n'
//write everything to the textfile as UTF-8
outputFile.append(dynamic, 'utf-8')
}
def addToCsvLine(element) {
dynamic += "\"" + element + "\","
Has someone an idea please?
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,

nmrao thanks for your response.
I did it this way:
//------------Concepts - Validity - Dates def convertDate(date) { SimpleDateFormat formatFromApi = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd") Date parsedDate = formatFromApi.parse(date) SimpleDateFormat formatToGolden = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy") String goldenDate = formatToGolden.format(parsedDate) return goldenDate }Kind regards,
