RegEx question

[Yves COPPE]

Hi,


I have a function to check if a string is a date in European format :  
DD/MM/YYYY

function CheckDate pDateToCheck
   return  
matchText(pDateToCheck,"([1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])/(0[1-9]|1[0-2])/([0 
-9][0-9][0-9][0-9])")
end CheckDate


when I test :
"12/05/2004" returns " true"   this is correct


"05/20/2004" returns "false"  this is correct because it's not an  
eurpean date format


"5 12/05/2004" returns "true"  this is not correct because it's not a  
date at all !


Can someone help me to make it run fine ?


Greetings.
