Can dates be recognised?

Thank you xoxo

)\s(\w{3}\s\d{4})\s(\d*)\s

I get an error, object reference needed

Your method seems workable and interesting. But a doubt, i need to enter a url to get result from.

@ddrdushy1 It works. Thanks alot for guiding me through it. But i face another problem: why doesn’t the tostring works

[ddrdushy1 (Dushyanth)]

you receiving a JSON value. use JSON activities(install uipath web activities package ) to extract the data.
