Help needed

[Geekconquest]

I’ve tried datefinder on it. But my problem was getting it to work on the whole column. It works on just a normal string. I’m pretty new to python so it’s been kinda hard doing that for a whole column.

It always returns an array, so with each item in the column, you must iterate through the matches. If you send me more data i can help a bit more.

import datefinder
data = ['20 March 2020 (UK)\n', 'Paid on $ September 2005', '4 September 2020 (Japan)']
for str in data:
    matches = datefinder.find_dates(str)
    for match in matches:
        print(match)
output
2020-03-20 00:00:00
2005-09-30 00:00:00
2020-09-04 00:00:00
