Extracting date from string

Hi All

I'm trying to extract the date from the following string so i can store in a variable for use in selecting child records:

TEST DOCUMENT 1 <1154> [24/02/2022]

The formula i'm using is:

First(Split(Last(Split(TextInput1.Text,"\[")).Result,"\]")).Result

but I'm getting the whole string and not the date only...

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks for any help!

cheers!

@Flyingfishnm

This is because your text does not include \[ or \] in it.

Your formula should be the following:

First(Split(Last(Split(TextInput1.Text, "[")).Result, "]")).Result

I hope this is helpful for you.
