Input for my elastic has some dates in format below. Though I can use `"date_detection": false` but using that I can't use range filters etc as the date would be indexed as string.

Is there a preprocessor using which I can trim to only to a valid date?

```auto
response": {
            "option_value": {
              "created": "Wed Jan 13 2016 18:28:28 GMT+0100",

```
