How to find text structure within string array?

Hello,

please see below an example of file names I have:

"moose_0_-1_6_Coordinates-8580_138864_ 30-01-21_17-48-22_0.xml"

I've made in bold the required text (which is the date of file creation).

File names can vary a little a bit, but the bold structure would always exist.

Can I search somehow for a specific template/structure within my string?

Something like: ##-##-##_##-##-## (when # <--> digit).

Thank You !

str = "moose_0_-1_6_Coordinates-8580_138864_ 30-01-21_17-48-22_0.xml";
rgx = '\d+-\d+-\d+_\d+-\d+-\d+';
out = regexp(str,rgx,'match','once')

out = "30-01-21_17-48-22"
