> The configurable date format functionality in TsProcessor does the following to extract the date text to parse when a date regex isn't set:
> {{recordEntry.substring(0, sdf.toPattern().length());}}
> The problem with this approach is that some date formats aren't the same length as their corresponding text string and {{sdf.toPattern().length()}} produces the length of the former, not the latter. As an example the {{z}} format letter produces a timezone like 'PDT'.
