You don't need to use Reg. Exp. for this. Instead, treat the date as a
list, with a delimiter of "/", and use listGetAt() or even getToken() to get
the various date parts.

Subject: Reg Exp help
Gang, given the date 8/8/2001, how would i use a regular expression to set
the variables for month, day, and year. I know what i need to do, but i'm
just not sure how to do it with a Reg Exp
month: the number before the slash
day: the number between two slashes
year: the number after the last slash
can anyone tell me how to turn my english into Reg Exp. Thank you very much.
john
