Hey,<br />
this should work.<br />
Other solution is to use regex to extract the date but i'm not too familiar with it<br />
so... ;)<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-291003">MyStr = Split(str, &quot; &quot;)(0) 
If IsDate(str) Then
   MyDate = Date.Parse(str)
   'Whatever else you need to do
Else
    'whatever
End If
</code></pre>

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
if have a array of strings.<br />
some of them look like:<br />
<br />
test1<br />
test2 <br />
<br />
but others look like<br />
&quot;2006-06 (jun)&quot;<br />
&quot;2006-07 (jul)&quot;<br />
<br />
now i want to extract the date part from these strings (only the one's which contain the date, e.g. 2006-06) and convert (only the strings which look like they have date in them) &nbsp;them to a &quot;date time&quot; format and store them in another array as &quot;date time&quot; items<br />
<br />
how do i do it? <br />
