Extract Date/time from Text String

I am new to Alteryx,

 

I am a TEXT column with lots of data , i am looking to extract Date and Time from it. Regex might be the possible solution but not sure how. Please view the attached file for the input data.

 

Expected output:  10/31/2019 01:00:00 PM 

If no date/time is found then it should return null

The date/time has fixed format and is always mentioned after the "Scheduled Order Date(EST/EDT) : " 

 

Thankyou for your help.

Hi there, 

 

Take a look at this link regexr solution

The section at the bottom of the page lays out exactly what's happening. You can also hover over the text and see why/how it matched.
