parse string - default values

We have an automation that has an email as the trigger.
In this email there is a string in this format:

taak:J:01/12/2023:31/12/2023:4u:description

With this I want to create a task in motion.
I can split the string so I have the separate array values.
action: taak
person: J
start date: 1/12/2023
due date: 31/12/2023
duration: 4u
Description: description

But, how can I easily add a default value if the sent string is for example:

taak:J::31/12/2023:4u:description (there is no start date). I would like to put in a default value (for example today).
Same goes for all the other ones.

Filters are not appropriate because it needs to continue, regardless. Router is not working here either.
Do I need to write a regex expression?

Is there an easy way to do this?

The current action step doesn't support converting this particular string directly. However, you might find success by attempting to use a Regular Expression to perform the conversion instead.
