Parsing a date column into 2 columns

Hi!

I am a bit stuck on splitting this into 2 columns:

Original: Feb 3, 2021 12:00:00 EST

 

Desired Output: Feb - 3 - 2021 in its own column and 12:00:00 EST in second column

I tried using text to column and reg expression but can't figure it out. I am new to Alteryx too

Hi @theglamcoder ,

 

Use regex / parse:   (\w*\s\d*,\s\d{4})\s(.*)

 

regex101: build, test, and debug regex   is a good resource to test / learn regex.

A Formula version if you're worried about reading/maintaining the RegEx.
