Regular Expression: Format Artez Date Fields
Yeesh - looks like an ISO 8601 without the time zone specified. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601)
Great example of "Regex to the rescue" though!
Hi Alison,
I was wondering if you'd be able to help me with a regex to remove a time stamp and reformat the date.
The current format is
YYYY:MM:DD hh:mm:ss
and I would like it to be DD/MM/YYYY
Are you able to help?
Hello Deborah,
That was a fun little challenge for me! After a bit of trial and error, I think I finally have just the RegEx solution for you. This will be a new dictionary you can create by simply copying and pasting from this excel file: Dcty4Deb.xlsx
Screenshot of how the dictionary should look:
Hope this helps you! Thanks and keep up the good work!

Thank you so much Allison! This works a treat and will save me and my team from having to adjust this column every time!
Thanks!
Hi,
I have attempted to resolve the below based on comments in this topic, but no luck. May I ask how to change 2020-05-01T01:42:24 to DD/MM/YYY?
Thanks in advance.

I have seen lots of examples of interesting date formats, and was recently reminded of a particularly odd specimen.
If you have ever tried to import something from Artez with a date field, you may have noticed that the dates tend to look a little strange! For example, a date that should be 05/26/2015 will end up in your import file like 2015-05-26 04:18:06:007, which to say the very least, Raiser's Edge will not accept!
Lucky for you, there is a Regular Expression for that:
Replacement Value:
Value to Match On:
(^\d{4})-((?<=-)\d{2}(?=-))-(\d{2})\S*Please note that this formula is specific to Artez date formats. Thanks and keep up the good work!
