Fine
if this string is in a varaible of string type
intext = “Original Invoice No:00000/000000000 Invoice No: 00000/0000000000
Original invoice date:26nov2018
11:38 AM Invoice Date: 03­Dec­2018
10:43 AM
Bill to
Passenger: MR. xxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx
SAC Non Taxable /
IGST CGST SGST/ UTGST”

then
outtext = intext.Split(Environment.Newline.ToArray())
where outtext is a string array variable
–now use a for each loop and pass the above variable as input and change the type argument as string in the property panel of for each loop
–inside the loop use a if condition like
item.Contains(“Original invoice date”)
if the condition passes it will go to THEN part where use a assign activity like
out_date_str = Split(item,“:”)(1).ToString.Trim
where out_date_str is a string variable holding the value of original invoice date

hope this would help you

You can use Regex Matches activity for those.
Regex for first one “(?<=Original Invoice No:).*(?=Invoice No:)”
Regex for second one “(?<=Invoice Date:).*”

add a BREAK activity in the THEN part next to this step

so that it wont loop again

alright
once getting out_datestr from this step

use a assign activity like this
out_datestr = Datetime.ParseExact(out_datestr,“ddMMMyyyy”,System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToString(“MMMM,yyyy”)

where the output value of out_datestr would be November,2018
