translate js function to cfscript

[Richard White]

Hi,

I have a javascript function that i need to translate to cfscript but am having 
difficulty with finding some of the correct cf methods. the javascript code is 
as follows:

function isDate(dateStr)
        {
           var datePat = /^(\d{1,2})(\/)(\d{1,2})(\/)(\d{4})$/;
           var matchArray = dateStr.match(datePat); // is the format ok?

                if (matchArray == null) 
                {
                        alert("Please enter date as dd/mm/yyyy");
                        return false;
                }

                day = matchArray[1]; // [EMAIL PROTECTED] date into variables
                month = matchArray[3];
                year = matchArray[5];

                if (month < 1 || month > 12) 
                { // check month range
                        alert("Date: Month must be between 1 and 12.");
                        return false;
                }

                if (day < 1 || day > 31) 
                {
                        alert("Date: Day must be between 1 and 31.");
                        return false;
                }

                if ((month==4 || month==6 || month==9 || month==11) && day==31) 
                {
                        alert("Date: Month "+month+" doesn`t have 31 days!")
                        return false;
                }

                if (month == 2) 
                { // check for february 29th
                        var isleap = (year % 4 == 0 && (year % 100 != 0 || year 
% 400 == 0));
                        if (day > 29 || (day==29 && !isleap)) 
                        {
                                alert("Date: February " + year + " doesn`t have 
" + day + " days!");
                                return false;
                        }
                }
                return true; // date is valid
        }

the main problem i am having is the with top part of the code for the pattern 
matching:

var datePat = /^(\d{1,2})(\/)(\d{1,2})(\/)(\d{4})$/;
           var matchArray = dateStr.match(datePat); // is the format ok?

                if (matchArray == null) 
                {
                        alert("Please enter date as dd/mm/yyyy");
                        return false;
                }

i would really appreciate any help

thanks very much

richard
