Date Validator Regex with format dd-MMM-yyyy, Zero Date

martinadhie

Hi Guys,

This is regular expression for validating dd-MMM-yyyy date format:

^(0[1-9]|[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])-([Jj][Aa][Nn]|[Ff][Ee][Bb]|[Mm][Aa][Rr]|[Aa][Pp][Rr]|[Mm][Aa][Yy]|[Jj][Uu][Nn]|[Jj][Uu][Lj]|[Aa][Uu][Gg]|[Ss][Ee][Pp]|[Oo][Cc][Tt]|[Nn][Oo][Vv]|[Dd][Ee][Cc])-(19|20)\d\d$

It will not allow case like 0-Aug-2007, should be 01-Aug-2007

Thanks,
Martin

The date format is dd-MM-yyyy. Maybe if you want to format dates this way you need to include globalization in your validation. HTH.

Hi!

I'm not sure what the question is but my first reaction was that it would be much easier to parse for human eyes if written as:

^(0?[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])-(jan|feb|mar|apr|may|jun|jul|aug|sep|oct|nov|dec)-(19|20)\d\d$

and then made case insensitive by setting RegexOptions.IgnoreCase
