Description |
I have written this regular expression for use in javascript. It sould work for other languages directly or with minor changes. The parsing logic in this regular expression works like this : Imagine a tree structure, input at the root, Level 1 : two branches one-non Feb months two-Feb month. In the Feb month again two branches one-leap year Feb and two-non leap year Feb. In the non-Feb branch, we have two branches again, one-30 days month and two-31 days month. Once you get this, I think it will be easier to figure out the rest.
