Regular Expression

[ellisd5]

I have a bit of Javascript that is checking to see that a date is enter in this format DD/MM/YYYY
sDate is the input field

if(isNaN(sDate.substring(0, 2)) || isNaN(sDate.substring(3, 5)) || isNaN(sDate.substring(6, 10)) || sDate.charAt(2) != "/" || sDate.charAt(5) != "/") {
	alert("Date needs to be in format DD/MM/YYYY.");
	return false;
}

Problem is I have been told that it must accept say 1/9/2004 which the above doesn't accept.

Im rubbish at Regular Expressions, is there a regular expression that can do this check?

TIA Dale

I had a similar topic not that long ago, anyhow, you can find if you try the lovely search engine.

But since I am such a nice guy I'll provide the link to it

liorean gave me an example and a very detailed explanation of how it works. It was extremely useful to me on my way of understanding regExp's and hopefully it will be just as useful to you too!
