The following is strict for months - you could take the same line for days
String RE = "\\d{4}/(?:[1-9]|1[12]|0[1-9])/\\d{2}";ASKER CERTIFIED SOLUTION

True :)
You will need to validate the dates ANYWAY
Since CEHJ's code will allow 29/02/2011
and 08 and 09 are invalid octal and so on

Yet another example of unclear question and points assigned in no relation to original question.
The question was about how to enter either one or two digits. No validation mentioned, no language specified and the question posted in two zones - Java Programming Language and JavaScript. In my view, in the context of this question the zones are mutually exclusive as the asker needs to solve the problem in either of the two languages but not both.
I assumed it was Java and my answer is correct for Java.

Yes, i'm not saying for one minute that mine will prevent invalid dates - i was just focusing on the month
@Hegemon:
>>> The question was about how to enter either one or two digits. No validation mentioned
Thanks for time and answer .
I clearly mention that its YYYY/MM/DD , so iam taking about year,date ,month so
no need for validation rule bcz all are know month should 1 to 12 only .
i think your tech guy .... thanks again

You do know that
30/02/
31/02/
and outside leapyears 29/02/2011
and
31/4, 31/6. 31/9 and 31/11 are invalid too?
PS: Hegemon I think a LOT of regexps will work in JS and JAVA both

I thought this too but dravidnsr said mine did not work at all (although I tested it in Java) and the first CEHJ's solution did not work in JS, so there are probably differences.
