Subject: Re: RegEx to find a date in a string
I'd be hesitant to use {1,} as the modifier as it is totally open ended.
[0-9]{1,} will match 9, 99 and 9999999. If a month/date can be one or two
numbers then I can see using {1,2}. I used {2} assuming that the month/date
would always be a 2 digit number.
for those not in the know, {1} is a modifier that means that the previous
character, set or grouping should be matched once. {1,2} means that it should
be matched at lease once but not more than twice. {1,} means at least once but
no limit on the amount past once
