Regular Expression: Remove the middle string

Question

I have the following sentence:

**     DATE : 04/12/2014   * TIME: 07:49:42                **

I only want to capture 04/12/2014 07:49:42.

I've tried this .*DATE : ([0-9\/]+.*TIME: [0-9\:]+)

But I got this: "04/12/2014 * TIME: 07:49:42."

How can I remove " * TIME:"?

I need it in pure regex, so I'm testing at http://www.regexr.com/.

Answer 1

[\* ]*Date\s*:\s*([0-9/]+)[ \*]*time\s*:\s*([0-9:]+)[ \*]*

in replace statement u use $1 $2 then you will get what you want
