Hi ozo and matthewspatrick,<br />
hmmmmm, so should it just be : ^[01][0-9]/[0-3]\d/\d{4}$ &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;??<br />

I think that would be better<br />
[0-9] can also be written \d

Hi,<br />
Does anyone have a simple regex to just verify &quot;mm/dd/yyyy&quot; where the &quot;m&quot;, &quot;d&quot; and &quot;y&quot; are numeric. &nbsp;I have a server side test for a valid date (in Coldfusion) but it accepts any valid date format. &nbsp;I'd like to force the input to be mm/dd/yyyy and edit it on the server.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance,<br />

Hi,
Does anyone have a simple regex to just verify "mm/dd/yyyy" where the "m", "d" and "y" are numeric.  I have a server side test for a valid date (in Coldfusion) but it accepts any valid date format.  I'd like to force the input to be mm/dd/yyyy and edit it on the server.

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.

Web Servers

A regular expression ("regex") is a sequence of characters that define a search pattern, mainly for use in pattern matching with strings, or string matching, i.e. "find and replace"-like operations. Regular expression processors are found in several search engines, search and replace dialogs of several word processors and text editors, and in the command lines of text processing utilities, such as sed and AWK. Many programming languages provide regular expression capabilities, some built-in, for example Perl, JavaScript, Ruby, AWK, and Tcl, and others via a standard library, for example .NET languages, Java, Python and C++ (since C++11). Most other languages offer regular expressions via a library.
