<code class="sig">DateTime.parse(text, pattern) -&gt; int</code>
<div class="desc"><p>Parses <code>text</code> into a <code>DateTime</code> by reading each token of <code>pattern</code> from the fixed position the pattern lays out; missing fields default to 1970-01-01 00:00:00. Returns <code>-1</code> if a digit was expected but not found (so the caller can detect malformed input). The pattern <b>must be a string literal</b> and uses the same tokens as <code>DateTime.format</code>. <code>text</code> must match the pattern's fixed-width layout.</p></div>
