I have a dumb question, but cannot find an answer:

I've got a string like
-"The day is Oct 2004 and it is nice outside"
-"Today is Nov 2003 and I am hungry"
-"The day is Jan 1999"

How can I do a Replace on this using a wildcard to match "Oct 2004" or
"Nov 2003" , i.e. the pattern: [??? ####]

Thanks!

Mark

Perhaps something like:

can be used to update strings using Regular Expressions.
