I am getting a Date from my xml using xpathsnippet funciton and it returns the date as a TEXT field.

I want to convert it back to Date to insert it in the db.

todate() function does not seem to work for me since it returns an integer and not a date.

None of the other date functions take input as a text and give output as date..

Is there any such function?...

The date that comes back from the xml as a TEXT is as follows:-

2013-03-14T00:44:04.000Z

Is this a problem with the date that the xml returns or is this a problem with the function?

The o/p of the todate function gives me..

This does not seem to me as a valid date format?

And therefore the db insertion is rejected..
