Rather than my fighting this all afternoon, I figured somebody might know regular expressions better than I and be able to come up with a quick solution.
I have an app where the system admin needs to be able to specify a custom date string that will then be fed into the dateFormat() function. The sys admin has the option to use a combination of spaces, special characters, d, m, y, etc. to build this date string - i.e. anything allowed for the standard dateFormat() function. I need to somehow validate their input string before I give it to the dateFormat() function though. Anybody got a quick regex solution to validate this string - or any other suggestions?
