JavaScript: Validate Correct Date/Time Format
Using JavaScript, I want to test if a date and time is in the allowed format.
These values are valid:
2011-9-9 22:3:00
2001-11-11 0:23:55
2091-1-1 2:00:11
These values are NOT valid:
11-9-9 22:3:00
2001-11-11
2091-1-1 2:00:11 xyz
These values are valid:
2011-9-9 22:3:00
2001-11-11 0:23:55
2091-1-1 2:00:11
These values are NOT valid:
11-9-9 22:3:00
2001-11-11
2091-1-1 2:00:11 xyz

Just for the record, the solution I posted does utilize the regex pattern of \d{4,4}, which means that the minimum amount of digits is 4 and the maximum is 4, so it has to exactly be 4.
Forgot to add in my above comment that I am talking about the year input. But going off what hankknight posted of valid and invalid dates, my pattern is explained as follows:
\\d{4,4} means 4 (and only 4) digits
\\d{1,2} means 1 or 2 digits
\\d{2,2} means 2 (and only 2) digits
My original solution works great tested with the valid/invalid date time entries hankknight supplied, in that one simple JavaScript function.
^\\d{4,4}-\\d{1,2}-\\d{1,2}\\s\\d{1,2}:\\d{1,2}:\\d{2,2}$\\d{4,4} means 4 (and only 4) digits
\\d{1,2} means 1 or 2 digits
\\d{2,2} means 2 (and only 2) digits
My original solution works great tested with the valid/invalid date time entries hankknight supplied, in that one simple JavaScript function.
Thanks for the assist, and the points.
Good luck & have a great day.
