I work on OCR. We extract text from invoices automatically. When the contents of the invoice are extracted they are stored in a text file, and then we write scripts to extract the data from the text file according to our requirements.
One requirement that has got me stuck is, i need to extract the date from a text file which is not written in any particular format. Its written as 12 08 2014 in a line. I need to extract this and print it out in the dd/mm/yyyy format.
Also, the dates can be written in any format, for example 2nd December 2013, 12-12-2013, 12 Aug 2013 and so on...I need to read the date and extract it in the form of dd/mm/yyyy
ORDERED SHIPPED
THE DATE IS IN THE NEXT LINE 28 08 14, I NEED TO EXTRACT THIS AND PRINT IT IN THE DD/MM/YYYY FORMAT
