So the date format is fixed. So how can I use regx to extract date?

A simple RegEx to capture the dates in this format would be

/\s\d\d\/\d\d\/\d\d\s/

and then use String.prototype.trim() to trim away leading and trailing whitespaces.

Using:

/\s[0123]\d\/[01]\d\/\d\d\s/

provides a little more validation, removing invalid months and days.
