I need to select the day from the current date.
Right now I have (see pic).. but it does not work. How can I use regex to get the dd part from mm/dd/yyyy

Hey,
nope it does not work... It simply copies the whole mm/dd/yyyy not the dd portion

Another way you can do this by adding to a list from text and using the slash as the delimiter. Then all you would need to do is use list item position 1.

Oh I see you want the day only. Try this  dateonly.ubot   6.54K   14 downloads

thanks guys, both the above should definitely work. But i just find it surprising that regex itself cannot separate the month day or year from a dd/mm/yyyy format. feel for the guys that dont use ubot and simply want to get the month through regex

Regex has a search and replace method. If you search the internet you will find a ton of info on it.
