Need a CRON Expression to schedule a automation that runs each March 1st at no particular time.

[DeAnna Law]

I have looked through several of the cron posts here and even used some of the suggested builder applications on the web.  I keep getting an unexpected character alert, will someone kindly help me. 

Expressions I have tried with no luck so far:

0001MAR**
000?3/1**
0013*

Need:  A expression to run every 1st of March (not time specific) each year

By the way, be sure to check out the provided link in the advanced area when setting up a cron. You might find this tool useful to test cron syntax as well - https://crontab.cronhub.io/ . There are a lot of other resources out there. I have to pull these up on the rare occasions where I need a cron. 😉

Thank you so much Jack, I guess that spacing is essential here!  This solved my issue and I appreciate the time and the additional link to info provided.

You bet. Note that there is also an extra zero in my offering as you need seconds, minutes, hour. Also consider accepting the answer if it works for you.
