Hi

Use this simple expression to do the replace text in a column and get the output as datatable

dt = (From r In dt.AsEnumerable
Select ia = r.ItemArray.ToList
Select ic = ia.ConvertAll(Function (e) system.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(e.ToString.Trim, “(Received).*(\d{2}\s\S+\s\d{4})”, “ ”)).ToArray
Select dt.Rows.Add(ic)).CopyToDataTable()
