A sample text is "I visited New York on 10-09-2008". The expected output is "I visited New York on DATE". Similary, for another sentence "I visited New York on 10/09/2008". The expected output is "I visited New York on DATE". Also, please help me on how to use regular expression in Perl for such kind of date formats. Thanks in advance.
