I just want to offer the simplest solution first. If there's a reason
why this won't work, please say.
put "sfgsfg gsfgs g 05/01/2011 t trtr" into tText
repeat for each word tWord in tText
if tWord is a date then put tWord & cr after tFound
end repeat
put tFound
Maybe you are just looking to exeriment with regular expressions. But
given your sample text and date format, the above works and will be
readily readable when you return to in 6 months.
