How to use intl DateFormat to convert string "1030" to "10:30am"

Question

I am dealing with time strings such as "1030" or "0230"

I am trying:

var time = "1030";
DateFormat.jm().format(DateFormat("hhmm").parse(time));

However that throws the following error:

Unhandled Exception: FormatException: Trying to read mm from 1030 at position 4

What am I doing wrong?

Edit: Nvm, I guess I have to substring the time into "hour:min" and use "hh:mm", then it works. So, convert the time "1030" to "10:30", and then use "hh:mm"..

Thanks. I figured it out insted by, just substring the parts split by colon, and use hh:mm. — user1354934, Mar 24 '22 at 20:35
