if your string is of type...

 

YYYY-MM-DD you can use an expression like this:

 

 

(($P{MyDate} != null && $P{MyDate}.length() == 10) ? $P{MyDate}.substring(8,10)+"/"+$P{MyDate}.substring(6,8)+"/"+$P{MyDate}.substring(0,4) : "")

 

 

The result is: DD/MM/YYYY

 

Enjoy

Giulio , this is exactly what I was also looking for. Thanks for this post.

I've used the SimpleDateFormat class, might be a little easier if you have mulitple date formats

example:

(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd HHmmss")).parse($F{Date})

Fix:
(($P{MyDate} != null && $P{MyDate}.length() == 10) ? $P{MyDate}.substring(8,10)+"/"+$P{MyDate}.substring(5,7)+"/"+$P{MyDate}.substring(0,4) : "")
