it looks to me like your regex is looking for either 99/99, or nothing at
all.
<cfif NOT Len(cardStartDate) OR (IsNumeric(Left(cardStartDate, 2)) AND
IsNumeric(Right(cardStartDate, 2)))>
return true
</cfif>
not sure that's even the best logic, e.g. what if someone enters 9/04
instead of 09/04? Perhaps you could treat it as a list with the delimiter
being /, then check each half is numeric, maybe after trimming.

Hi,
Can someone please help me with this regular expression ? can't figure out
why it won't return true:
<cfset reCardDate = "^(([0-1]{1,1})([0-9]{1,1})/([0-9]{2,2})){0,1}$" />
<cfset cardStartDate = "" />
<cfoutput>#REFind(reCardDate,cardStartDate)#</cfoutput>
Basically, I want it to return true for the empty string, or for a valid
mm/yy date format.
Thanks, Douglas
