Hi there,
this is wonderful!  Over here in Canada though, we use mm/dd/yyyy.  Can you provide an alternative for this format?  Also, my program needs to accept dates that have the month and/or day in a single digit format.
For example:
mm/dd/yyyy
accepts: 02/13/1986  2/13/1986  02/01/1986  02/1/1986

Yep,
Try with a "begin line" + "end line" and group the "choice |"
^(0?[13578]|1[02])$

Can anyone tell me why
  0?[13578]|1[02]
or
  0{0,1}[13578]|1[02]
rejects "10" or "12"?
I'm using .NET, btw (don't know if that matters).

Hi Gel,
Do you need specific year "from" date ? example year 1600, or is year 2000 a good starting point ?
Let me know quickly if you want it fast :)

Works great...but my app doesn't force leading 0's on month and day.
To get around that, add {0,1} immediately after the month and day 0's.
First match changes from: 
^(((0[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01])\/(0[13578]|1[02])\/((1[6-9]|[2-9]\d
)\d{2}))|((
To:
^(((0{0,1}[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01])\/(0{0,1}[13578]|1[02])\/((1[6-9]|[2-9]\d
