Is there some method or function that checks whether a date is valid.
For example, these are not valid (yyyy/mm/dd format here for
reference.): 2008/02/33 2k+8/11/21 200.8/10/02 2006/3/five 2007/-6/18 2009/14/2 I'm assuming the program has determined there are three parts to the date, and they will be passed to the function for verification--empty items detected, as well, 2004//25. That is, dates like 2008/12/ and 2002/5/5/7 are caught, and the three parts are passed, for example, in 2006/3/five, as 2006, 3 and five. Perhaps a Try is useful with some function? --
