RegEx Substring, including string

I have the following string where I would like to extract a subset of the string, up to and including a date.

Below is an example of the String:

This is text written on 12/19/2017 10:03:38 AM

I want to only return:

This is text written on 12/19/2017

I have tried the following (among many other attempt):

.+?(\d{1,2}/\d{2}/\d{4})

but this seems to return 12/19/2017 10:03:38

Thanks for any insight!

This should work. The problem is '/' is not escaped in your expression.

.+?(\d{1,2}\/\d{2}\/\d{4})
