You meant 0-5 and not 0-59 :P.
A good UI implementation could at least check the pattern against
every day currently displayed in the date-picker and gray out any
that
don't match it. I don't know how feasible it would be to gray out
the
next/previous month buttons or anything just based on patterns,
though. Also, I'm not sure we really want to force people to use
regex for this . . .
What if I would like to set a future event that cannot
happen on weekends?
That might be possible with regex in theory, but I really don't want
to see it. :)
I love regex but I agree with you that for that pattern is seems pretty
obvious, but for others it's not that simple. And no, my weekend
question cannot be done with regex (at least in a short way :P). Maybe 2
methods for enabling/disabling days in the input would be better for
more complex scenarios.
