Your month was 3-characters only. Now modified to any length of characters.

@Qiu , its now working just not getting 1 digit day lol. May I know what's the meaning of regex 

\d{2}\w+\d{2,4}

I think d stands for digits and w for words? bracket dictates that it should only consist of 2 length or 2 up to 4 in length, please correct me if i am wrong.

Yes, your understanding is correct👌

I usually use this this site to learn and check my RegEx.

@Qiu I used 

REGEX_Match([Value], '\d{1,2}\w+\d{2,4}')

so if 2June20 or 02June20 day if with leading 0 or not will still stay as true, however  including string is going into true now

It's going into the left part of join since day is only 1 digit
