Hi, @brindhaS,
Store the folder name in the string variable like strName.
and use strName.split(" "c)(1).You will get only date.
If you find this useful mark it as solution.
Cheers…

Hi,
to extract a date format as above you can use Regex

“\d{1,2}-\d{2}-\d{2}”

This will give you any date format with 2 digits follow by a - e.g. 01-05-19 or 11-05-19 or 5-25-19

As @TimK mentioned i have just changed little bit in that regex. Try below regex once.

“\d{1,2}-\d{1,2}-\d{2}”

As @Manjuts90 has amended, he has changed the second part to look for either 1 or 2 digits by changing {2} to {1,2} :slight_smile:

Thanks
