Regex query

Hi everyone. 

 

I have a quick question regarding an old Alteryx challenge I found on youtube yesterday which despite relentless googling I can't find the answer to. 

 

The challenge asks to parse a date (which is in US format) such as 1/11/2011, into its component parts of month, day and year using Regex. 

 

Any help on how to solve this problem would be much appreciated, as I often work with data sets separated by special characters.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hello @StephenMoss ,

 

The regex formula that you could use to parse the data would be

 

(\d+)/(\d+)/(\d+)

 

If you need any furher assistance with this let me know 🙂
