Created attachment 120690 [details] Patch to make Financial Times date regexp more flexible SUMMARY I've noticed that online price update fails for LSE (London Stock Exchange) equities when using the "Financial Times" source. The date regexp for this data source searches for the text: "Data delayed at least 15 minutes". However, LSE equities have a delay of 20 minutes, so the match fails: https://markets.ft.com/data/equities/tearsheet/summary?s=IHG:LSE Making the date regexp more flexible allows price update to work as expected. I've attached a patch that updates the default date regexp. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add an LSE equity, such as IHG:LSE 2. Set the online source to Financial Times 3. Update the price OBSERVED RESULT Price found: '123.40' (123.4) Unable to update price for xxx (no price or no date) EXPECTED RESULT Price found: '123.40' (123.4) Date found: 'Fri Jun 7 2019' Price for xxx updated (ID E000001)

Should this change still be applied to the main repository, or is it no longer needed. It looks like the entry for FT was last updated in 2017.
