Extracting from Selector tool selection

I'm helping someone with messaging in Indeed and the problem I want to solve is how to extract only the date from this selector, {site: text; selector=.msg-NoticeEvent}, to use in the reply.

Hello!

I had thought that I would let you know that I am still available and interested in the {site: text; selector=[data-cy="conversation-bar"] span} position at {site: text; selector=[data-cy="conversation-bar-company"]}. I had submitted my resume for your review on {site: text; selector=.msg-NoticeEvent}.

Hi @Santa_Laren,

Assuming the text prior to the date never changes. something like this should work:

Selector Contents: {text="You applied to this position on "&{time: MMMM D, YYYY}; trim=right}
{=text}

Date: {date=extractregex(text, "You applied to this position on (.+)"); trim=right}
{=date}

The first two lines of code are for illustration purposes only. You'll just need the command with the regex function and replace text with the contents of the selector.

Thank you Cedric! As always you came through for me!

This is how it worked out finally in case someone later wants to see:
