Hi,
Can anyone help out with a regex for time?
I would like the regex to accept:
HH:MM AM
HH:MM PM
Optional space, optional 1st H, case doesn't matter. Thanks in advance.

(?<Time>^(?:0?[1-9]:[0-5]|1(?=[012])\d:[0-5])\d(?:[ap]m)?)See you,Roberto

Thanks for the quick reply Roberto.
Am I supposed to include the whole string, starting w/:
"(?<Time>^........[ap],?)"
When I do include it all, the browser gets a "Syntax Error in Regular
Expression" and it doesn't work.
When I remove the "(?<Time>" from the beg. and one ) from the end, the
expression accepts 1:00 w/o the PM, which is not ok. Am am I doing
something wrong? Thanks again.

Hi Ron,
It's pretty strange, because I tryed befor send you. Try do it like this:
Dim regxInteger As New
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("(?<Time>^(?: 0?[1-9]:[0-5]|1(?=[012])\d
:[0-5])\d(?:[ap]m)?)")
MessageBox.Show(regxInteger.IsMatch("12:0aAM").ToS tring)
I hope it works.
See you,
Roberto Lopes

Ron,
Realize that the example I sent you will return false, because the time is
wrong, ok?
Try testing a valid time like this:
Dim regxInteger As New
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("(?<Time>^(?: 0?[1-9]:[0-5]|1(?=[012])\d
:[0-5])\d(?:[ap]m)?)")
MessageBox.Show(regxInteger.IsMatch("12:00 AM").ToString)
Ok?
Thanks,
Roberto Lopes

Hi again,
I got these examples to work, however the expression accepts a time w/o
the AM or PM. AM/PM must be included, meaning '1:00' should return
false.
I also keep getting the bad syntax error when I tab out of the validated
txtbox.

Hi Ron,
I didn't know it was mandadory. Try this one:
Dim regxInteger As New
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("(^(?:0?[1-9]:[0-5]|1(?=[012])\d:[0-5])
\d( )?(AM|am|aM|Am|PM|pm|pM|Pm))$")
Write back telling if it worked fine, ok?
See you.

That seems to be working great!!!
I noticed you took out '<time>'. Is that what was causing the syntax
errors (which I no longer get)?
Also, any suggestions on where I can get a listing of the symbols and
how they are used? Thank you very much.
