It appears that Kotlin is very specific regarding the formats of Date. I am receiving a string in this "Jan 1 2023 12:00AM" and wanted to convert it into this "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.Z" format. I looked around but couldn’t find a solution.

fun String.FormatDateTime(input: String): String{
    val DATE_FORMAT = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("MMM dd uuuu")
    var dat = aVal.substring(0, input.length-7).trim()
    val changeDate = LocalDateTime.parse(dat, DATE_FORMAT)

   return ""
}

But its failing. Is there any way to achieve that?
