Default extract date from string


i know this is probably a really simple thing to do but i am really not
familiar with text worksheet functions. anyways i have a cell which
contains the string: "Transfer Date: 3/19/2006". i want to extract only
the date from the string e.g. "3/19/2006".

note: if it was March 1st, then it would show "Transfer Date:
3/1/2006"...so i cant use the right function since i dont know the
exact length of the date.
