Please help me guys, Thanks in advance.

Find a line that has 'creat' on it then capture everything from the first digit to the new line character (or .)

Might have to change the (?:\n|\.) though based on the actual text

$str =  <<<END

END;

preg_match_all( '~creat.*?(\d.*?)(?:\n|\.)~i', $str, $matches );

print_r($matches);

Instead of trying to create on catch-all regex pattern I would look for a line that has creat on it (case insensitive) then search it for a variety of date formats.
