Question: I am trying to split the text right after each dates. I was trying with the below code. But it is give me the string itself.

```
string[] split = Regex.Split("SEND MILK EVERYDAY FOR THIS PERSON FROM 02/10/2014 TO 02/11/2014  SKIP 03/11/2014 AND 09/11/2014", @"^(0?[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[\/\-](0?[1-9]|1[012])[\/\-]\d{4}$")

```

Looking for a output like 

```
SEND MILK EVERYDAY FOR THIS PERSON FROM 02/10/2014
TO 02/11/2014
SKIP 03/11/2014
AND 09/11/2014

```

Answer: 
The reason is because you're using the wrong table ID. You declared the table with "broker":

```
<table class="table table-bordered table-hover" id="broker" cellspacing="0">

```

But then instantiate the DataTable with "newtable":

```
$('#newtable').dataTable( {"pagingType": "full_numbers"} );

```

The solution is to change your line to be:

```
$('#broker').dataTable( {"pagingType": "full_numbers"} );

```
Any time you're having issues with a library not working as expected, it's usually a good idea to double check the links you're using to request the library. You'll also want to make sure your table markup is correct as well. Lastly, the table `id` in your `html` needs to be the same as the selector you use to initialize the table features in your `jQuery`.

The solution below resolves these issues and works. Hope this helps!

```js
$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#broker').DataTable({
      "pagingType": "full_numbers"
  });
});
```

```html
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.16/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js"></script>
<link href="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.16/css/jquery.dataTables.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

<table id="broker" class="display table table-bordered table-hover" style="width:100%" cellspacing="0">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Broker</th>
      <th>Address</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>a</td>
      <td>b</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>c</td>
      <td>d</td>
    </tr> 
    <tr>
      <td>e</td>
      <td>f</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
  <tfoot>
    <tr>
      <th>Broker</th>
      <th>Address</th>
    </tr>
  </tfoot>
</table>
```
