Hi all, I have only recently bought Hazel, so I'm a bit of a novice. I am intrigued by the date match option and have successfully used it, but only on dates that don't contain any text after the day number, such as "st", "nd", "rd", "th". I hope this makes sense. I'd also be curious to know if this is a recognised date naming convention in the USA. It is quite common in the UK.
Thanks in anticipation.

Yes, it's not common to use "3rd" and such. I suggest using the (anything) token to cover any text after the day number.

Many thanks for that. I have tried what you suggest, but with no luck so far. However, I shall persevere.
Thanks once again.

If you can't figure it out, you can post the date you are trying to match and the pattern here.

Many thanks for all your help. I think I might've cracked it now!
