[flexcoders] regexp problem

[ibo]

Hi guys, this might be a trivial prob but Im having problem with regexp pattern.

This wont compile:
    var singleDatePattern:RegExp = \d{2}(/)\d{2}(/)\d{4};

I've tried this:
    var singleDatePattern:RegExp = new RegExp("/\d{2}(/)\d{2}(/)\d{4}/");

but it wont match against the string "08/20/2008". returns false.

I've tried the pattern on http://gskinner.com/RegExr/ and is confirmed to be 
correct.
What am I missing?
