Hi @Yudhisteer_Chintaram1

Please try this Main.xaml (9.2 KB)

In Invoke Code

dt1.AsEnumerable().ToList().foreach(sub(row) row(“Date”) = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Matches(row(“INV Date / BL Date”).ToString,“\d{1,2}/\d{1,2}/\d{1,4}”,RegexOptions.RightToLeft)(0))

Pass you datatable as in/out argument

Use write range to check if values are correct

Thanks

  1. Read your data table using read range and iterate through for each row.
    2.inside for each row assign your row value,
    InvDate=row(0).Tostring
    3.Then assign Date= System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(InvDate,“(0?[1-9]|1[0-2])//\d{2}”).ToString
    it will gives you date in this row.
    4.After that assign row(2)=Date
    5.And then outside the for each row use write range to write datatable.

Simply Use Split(Split(readtext,“;”)(1).ToString," / ")(1).ToString.Trim

Note the two spaces around the / in [" / ")(1)]

That should give you the date
