Clear incorrect cell for a date field

Say I have a date pattern to parse a field (column) like YYYYMMdd. How can I clear all the cells that do not match this pattern ? The default behaviour would be to discard any row that contain a cell that doesn't match the the above date pattern.

Hi Jeff, if you parse the date column, only the date with the format YYYYMMdd will be correctly parsed.

The default behaviour is to clear the cell. I was wrong to think the entire row was discarded.
In order to avoid warnings during the job execution, I used a workaroud with 2 steps in Recipe :
- a regexp (clear non matching cell for YYYYMMdd : ((19|20)\d\d)(0[1-9]|1[012])(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01]))
- then DSS (parse date)
