In a ticket i will get a date in the format “dd/MM/yyyy”. I have to check it with the current date to see if it has passed or its a future date.

Hi @karan_kapoor1,

1.Assume this is your ticket date : dd-MM-yyyy
2.Now system date will be system.datetime.now.toshortdatestring(make sure those two dates are in same format)
3.In if just use < to check the condition

if this solves your query then mark this as solution.
Happy Automation!

@karan_kapoor1
do the check on dateTime base and not on string base
parse the given date string into a datetime
parsing and check can be done as below:
