从日期时间字符串中提取日期

Question

I need to get the dates from strings of type '08-JAN-20 12.00.00.000000000 AM' in Python. How can I do this?

I tried this:

import datetime
datetime.strptime('08-JAN-20 12.00.00.000000000 AM', '%d-%b-%y %I.%M.%S %p')

but it says time data

'08-JAN-20 12.00.00.000000000 AM' does not match format '%d-%b-%y %I.%M.%S %p'

Answer 1

Edit string first? For example

_string = '08-JAN-20 12.00.00.000000000 AM'
_string = _string.split()[0]

The variable now equals '08-JAN-20'. So %d-%b-%y should work.
