    Hi,

     

    Is this what you need?

    Date date = Date.parse("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss", bday)
    log.info date

    Wed May 11 13:52:49 BST 2016:INFO:Sat Feb 12 00:00:00 GMT 1972

    You can also format it (to a different String format) if need be e.g.

     

    log.info Date.parse("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss", bday).format('dd/MM/yyyy')

    Wed May 11 13:56:29 BST 2016:INFO:12/02/1972

    Regards,

    Rupert

Is it that you agreed to provided solution saying that is working? And despite being requested to look at the solutions, again creating same topic ? Do you care about people time or just ignore and go on your own way?

I think you are misunderstanding the question. I accepted the answer on Parsing the date and formatting. 

However I have seen a instance where on successful parsing its changing the year on the result,

 

So my second question is why is the results adding a year. Hence opened up a new question.

    You aren't paying attention to the solutions provided where there are clear proven solutions. And not even comments by Rupert.

    If you have even tried copy and paste, you would have realized the error that is being made.

    Any ways, you using YYYY instead of yyyy. And use below

    def newDate= Date.parse("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss", '1971-12-28T00:00:00').format('MM/dd/yyyy')
    log.info newDate
