I was just talking with Critter and this piece of code came up. Thought others might 
like it. The purpose is to find a validly formatted date within a string. The 
assumption is that there will be a space before and after the date and the delimiters 
between each part of the date will be a dash (-), slash (/) or a period (.). 
I've got another version at home that'll deal with text months as well but I have to 
dig it up. 

REFind(' (0?[1-9]|1[012])[-/.](0?[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[-/.](19|20)?[0-9]{2} 
',String,1,1)
