Hi Muneendar,

This code may help you.

String strTest = '11/12/15 10:42';
String[] arrTest = strTest.split('/');
DateTime d = DateTime.newInstance(Integer.valueOf(arrTest[2].substring(0,2)),Integer.valueOf(arrTest[1]),Integer.valueOf(arrTest[0]));

let me know, if it helps you or need any help :)

Hi Muni,

Try this:
 
String strDateTime = '11/12/15 10:42';
String[] strDateArray = strDateTime.split(' ')[0].split('/');

Date dteDate = Date.newInstance(integer.valueOf('20' + strDateArray[2]),
                                integer.valueOf(strDateArray[1]),
                                integer.valueOf(strDateArray[0]));

It assumes the data string format is always 'dd/mm/yy hh:mm'.
The year format is only 2 characters in length, so it assumes it is the year 2015 when the date is created.

I would recommend including some string validation to ensure the supplied string is in the appropriate format and raise custom exceptions if it is not with a description of the issue to aid debugging later if the date string supplied does not meet the expected format.

Hope that helps,
Richard Jimenez
