function isDate pWhat
/* isDate Date
Syntax:
isDate (pWhat)
Examples:
isDate("10/10/2001")
Description:
Determines if the container passed to it in <pWhat> contains a valid
date.

Source:
Ken Ray, sdtlib 1.0b
isDate */
convert pWhat to short date
return not(the result is "invalid date")
end isDate

Try this
function CheckDate pDateToCheck
return
matchText(pDateToCheck,"([1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])/(0[1-9]|1[0-2])/([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9])")
end CheckDate
Promising, but fails with dates like "1/1/19".
