Ahmed's version works, but I think there's a better way to do this. (although the pattern will fail unless you put 2 //'s where you need it to actually find a '/' !)

I always use this as my base pattern extractor (if it's coming from an OCR)

[0-9]{1,2}\s?//\s?[0-9]{1,2}\s?//\s?[0-9]{2}[0-9]{0,2}

the reason I use the above is that coming from OCR it's very common for extra spaces to appear around the /'s. 

I then add () around each of the areas I'm trying to grab in a date field... 

I usually make this a 2 step process and save the extracted date, then create another date field to make it +1 year

The other gotcha with this is that if you use a token to add a year, you need to make sure that token is a integer. 

Is Calculated Year a number or integer field in Laserfiche?

Calculated Year is a number field in LF.

I am getting this error message 'Input string was not in a correct format'.

Thanks to advise

Hi all,

I used the Apply Formatting and extracted the date part into separate day, month,year.
