Hi Monica,
Do you need the first date in the string or the date that appears immediately after the text 'N319'?
To extract the first date, use this code:
StringVar AuditLog := {Audit_Log};
stringvar array arr;
numbervar i;
stringvar s;
arr := Split (AuditLog, "*");
for i := 1 to ubound(arr) do
    if instr(arr[i]," ") > 0 OR isdate(arr[i]) then    
        s := split(arr[i], " ")[1];
        if isdate(s) then
            s := s;
            i := ubound(arr)+1;
s;
