    I have a excel file. in one cell, column A row2, there is a text.

    "This is effective as of February 5, 2014"

    I need to get the date from this text and load into a table in sql server using ssis. how do I do this?

    I don't even know where to start. Do you know SSIS at all?

    I solved this task. I used script component to write VB code. with VB I could extract the text from the cell in excel and put it in array.

    I put the text in array and put last three words together which have date information.

    Will this work if the next time you get "This is effective as of May 5, 2014" ? - just giving a heads up in case you are using a string function like Right (..,..)

    I did not use Right (..,..).

    I put each words into an array. and got the size of the array. if the size of the array is X, I got the last three words by words[x-2],words[x-1],words[x]

    each word occupies a space in array. not each character.
