Error: Not a valid date string.

In my case, there is a "narrow no-space break" instead of a "space" between the number an the AM/PM abbreviation for the lastEditedTime: 2:29 PM charCodeAt(4): 202f

It works with this regular expression: const matcher = '([A-Za-z]{3}){1} ([0-9][0-9]?)$|([A-Za-z]{3}){1} ([0-9][0-9]?){1}, ([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9])?|[0-9]?[0-9]:[0-9][0-9]\u202f([AP]M)';

Hi @mwgnr what platform are you on? Windows, Mac, Linux, something else? I wonder if it's a platform specific thing. I built this on macOS and haven't really tried it in other environments. What do you think?

Sorry for the late reply. I use Linux. Unfortunately the issue still persists:

$ LANG=en_US google-chrome-stable --lang=en_US

>>> edited = "Edited yesterday, 10:52 PM"
>>> hexadecimal = []
>>> for c in edited:
...   hexadecimal.append(hex(ord(c)))
... 
>>> print(hexadecimal)
['0x45', '0x64', '0x69', '0x74', '0x65', '0x64', '0x20', '0x79', '0x65', '0x73', '0x74', '0x65', '0x72', '0x64', '0x61', '0x79', '0x2c', '0x20', '0x31', '0x30', '0x3a', '0x35', '0x32', '0x202f', '0x50', '0x4d']

I did a little more research on this. I need to handle cases for when cards say "Edited HH:MM AM/PM" and when "Edited yesterday..." because this text is written to the markdown and JSON files instead of being converted to the actual date and time.

The \u202f was an interesting find and did improve the parsing. Seems the same issue exists on macOS as well as Linux. I'll work on making those changes when I get some time, unless you want to open a pull request.

Hi @mwgnr I was able to resolve the issue thanks to your modified regular expression. The new update is published here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/archiver-for-google-keep. Hope this helps, and thank you!
