    • parse

      public static java.util.Date parse​(java.util.Date self, java.lang.String format, java.lang.String input) throws java.text.ParseException
      Parse a String into a Date instance using the given pattern. This convenience method acts as a wrapper for SimpleDateFormat.

      Note that a new SimpleDateFormat instance is created for every invocation of this method (for thread safety).

      Parameters:
      self - placeholder variable used by Groovy categories; ignored for default static methods
      format - pattern used to parse the input string.
      input - String to be parsed to create the date instance
      Returns:
      a new Date instance representing the parsed input string
      Throws:
      java.text.ParseException - if there is a parse error
      Since:
      1.5.7
