How to write the regex to extract numbers between two hyphens?

[jhayIV]

I have the following string 2016-02-17 field and I would like to extract the 02 between the hyphens. Does someone have a regex that will do this?

Sure,

\d{4}-(?<month>\d{2})-\d{2}

Check out www.regex101.com It can help with building out/learning regular expressions.

is it this simple?

\-\d\d\-

\-  = escapes the 1st hyphen
\d\d  =  2 digits
\-  = escapes the 2nd hyphen

Thank you so much I think I messed up the regex command in the search field
I entered the string below in the search field:

rex mode=sed"\d{4}-(?\d{2})-\d{2}"
