Re: RegEx for a date

[Rob Cozens]

Here's what worked for me (verification on one line only):

function CheckDate pDateToCheck
  if
matchText(pDateToCheck,"(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])/(0[1-9]|1[0-2])/([0-9][0-9]
[0-9][0-9])") is true then
    return pDateToCheck
  else
    return "Bad date"
  end if
end CheckDate

Ken, Yeves, et al:

I'm not a regEx user, but doesn't the above accept as valid dates input like:

* 30/02/2002 (Feb 30)
* 31/04/2002 (April 31)
* 29/02/2002 (Feb 29 on non leap years)

etc.?

The Serendipity Library validDate function will correctly validate any date as correct or incorrect based on the system date format: <http://www.oenolog.com/ftp/serendipity_downloader.htm>.
