My question is simple but takes work. I tried lots of regex expressions to check my datetime is ok or not, but though I am sure my regex exprerssion is correct it always return to me isnotok with ALERT. Can you check my code?
validateForLongDateTime('22-03-1981')
function validateForLongDateTime(date){
var regex=new RegExp("/^\d{2}[.-/]\d{2}[.-/]\d{4}$/");
var dateOk=regex.test(date);
if(dateOk){
alert('ok');
}else{
alert('notok');
}
}
There are at least 2 issues with the regex:
. and /) that is not what is necessary here.
The "fixed" regex will look like:
/^\d{2}[.\/-]\d{2}[.\/-]\d{4}$/
See demo
However, you cannot validate dates with it since it will also match 37-67-5734.
Here is my enahanced version with a character class for the delimiter:
^(?:(?:31([\/.-])(?:0?[13578]|1[02]))\1|(?:(?:29|30)([\/.-])(?:0?[1,3-9]|1[0-2])\2))(?:(?:1[6-9]|[2-9]\d)?\d{2})$|^(?:29([\/.-])0?2\3(?:(?:(?:1[6-9]|[2-9]\d)?(?:0[48]|[2468][048]|[13579][26])|(?:(?:16|[2468][048]|[3579][26])00))))$|^(?:0?[1-9]|1\d|2[0-8])([\/.-])(?:(?:0?[1-9])|(?:1[0-2]))\4(?:(?:1[6-9]|[2-9]\d)?\d{2})$
Date.parse 
this way you can validate date between 1 to 31 and month 1 to 12
var regex = /^(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[- \/.](0[1-9]|1[012])[- \/.](19|20)\d\d$/
