Help with Dates and OCR'd documents Fri Oct 07, 2016 7:39 pm • by ajb
Hey all,
I'm in need of help, hopefully this will be a simple thing. In some of my OCR documents I have dates that show up in this format "May 06, 2015" However sometimes my OCR confuses that to the following -

May06,2015
May 06,2015
May 06, 2015

I'd like to have a way to find all of the variations of this, maybe a date field of May%06%2015 with the % acting as a SQL wildcard? Possible, other options?

You can try putting the (anything) token where the possible spaces are. Give that a try.
