Hello,
I have an applications that is failing due to constant date formatting issues so I am trying to pin point all the files with the differing date formats. Currently it is working when dates come in DD-MMM-YY (01-Jan-19) however when my dates are in DD/MM/YY
(01/01/19) the applications falls over (it is probably a bug in the application but I have no control over that). The data files have some extra header information and some data that is being loaded underneath the headers, the date is always positioned in
Column A Cell 5.
I am a bit of a rookie with the findstr commands and regular expressions but I have managed to piece this together:
findstr /R /M "^(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[- /.](0[1-9]|1[012])[- /.](19|20)\d\d$" C:\Temp\*.csv > C:\Temp\test.txt
The end goal would be to have the file name and potentially the value that is causing the issue printed into a separate text file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
