@devasaiprasad_K,

Try this expression.

\b(0?[1-9]|1[0-2])[\/\-](0?[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[\/\-](\d{4})\b|\b(\d{4})[\/\-](0?[1-9]|1[0-2])[\/\-](0?[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])\b

You can try this

\b(?:\d{1,2}[-\/.\s]\d{1,2}[-\/.\s](?:\d{2}|\d{4})|\d{4}[-\/.\s]\d{1,2}[-\/.\s]\d{1,2})\b

Cheers

Hi @devasaiprasad_K

A slight modification in your used regular expression would help.

(?<=Version Date )(\d{1,2}\/\d{1,2}\/\d{2,4}|\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}|[0-3]?\d[\-\/\s.]*[JjFfMmAaSsOoNnDd][a-zA-Z]+[\-\/\s.]*\d{2,4})

Hi @devasaiprasad_K ,

Try below pattern:-

\b\d{1,2}/\d{1,2}/\d{4}(?: \d{1,2}:\d{2}:\d{2} [AP]M)?\b|\b\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}\b

Thanks,
