SUBMIT YOUR IDEAI suppose there are a lot of ways to do this, I chose to parse everything.
Started with a RegEx replace, then Text to Columns and finished with DateTime tool.
I suppose this could be an issue if you wanted to retain double or single quotes that may have been contained within the string as opposed to surrounding the strings, but I figured I'd try something different.
This was a really cool exercise especially working with the Text to Column parsing tool.
I ran a few iterations for possible solutions, but ultimately I ended up using the formula tool to to remove the quotes from the column attribute and the dateparse function in the poem date attribute to reformat from a string to a date.
Surprised to know how the "Text To Columns" tool allows you to add more than one delimiter at once. Used regular expression to replace the quotes in my date column which got created after parsing from "Text To Columns" tool. Easy-Peassy task as compared to Challenge #1 ;)
