Help on Regular experession to validate date

Hi,

I want to use RegularExpressi onValidator to validate a date

I want to let user to enter date in the following format

one or two digits for day
one or two digits for month
two or four digits for year
User should be allowed to use as date Separator either . or - or /

So this should be valid date

1/11/03
21.5.2004
3-11-00

If I use the following regular expression it allows only . as date separator
\d{1,2}\.\d{1,2 }\.(\d{2}|\d{4} )
I tryed the following sequence for separator, to allow any of the three I
mention above, but it doesn't works.
(\.|\-|\/)
I tried with the following one too
(.|-|/)
None of them are working

Can anyone tell me what I did wrong?

Thank you.
Bogdan

Hi, I would like to check for a partial match between an input string and a regular expression using the Regex class in .NET. By partial match, I mean that the input string could not yet be complete but I want to know if a match is possible so far. For instance I want to design a text box to enter a date and validate the correctness of the date as the user types character. If the user enters 1953/12/23 it will match my regex of course...

I hope this is an appropriate group for this question - if not, let me know where I should take this question. I want a regular expression that will validate a date in the format mm/dd/yyyy. I actually want to verify that the date is between 1/1/1900 and 1/1/1960 but I cannot get past the basic validation of the date. I am using the validator at http://www.web1marketing.com/resources/tools/regular-expression-tester.php and when I enter...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
