Try this :

09/10/2004 is a valid date in French


on mouseup
   ask "Une date ?" with "09/10/2004"
   if it is empty then exit to top
   answer CheckDate(it)
end mouseup

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


it returns "false" and shoulf return "true"....

Thanks for more help.
