Replace every second instance of a comma with an underscore

Hi all,

 

I am trying to replace every second instance of a comma in a single row with an underscore. So:

 

Nov 17, 2020,Nov 19, 2020,Nov 6, 2020,Nov 13, 2020

 

With:

 

Nov 17, 2020_Nov 19, 2020_Nov 6, 2020_Nov 13, 2020

 

The objective is so I can then parse the different dates to separate columns by splitting at the underscore.

 

Thank you in advance for the help!

regex/tokenize extract the dates. edited with a version with datetimeparse to turn into alteryx dates.
