date matching not working?

Dear all,

I got a strange behavior with date match. I run date match on multiple PDFs - one some it does work, on some it doesn't.

* If I checked content contains specifying the date manually - that works.
* If I go via content contains match with the correct date format - it only works sometimes

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Cheers, Till

Are you sure the date format is correct? For example, are you checking for the correct number of digits? Can you post or email in your rule?

Below I attached the exported rule and I checked it against multiple files - I don't see any logical flaw in the rule when looking at the dates which work and which do not work.

not matching:
07.06.2014
09.06.2014
17.06.2014
18.06.2014
30.08.2014
04.11.2014

matching:
23.04.2014
11.05.2014
14.05.2014
21.05.2014
06.07.2014
07.08.2014
29.09.2014
13.10.2014

I updated the note with all information:
https://www.evernote.com/shard/s4/nl/29 ... 1104ac5fe/

And now the exported rule:
