The regular expression shown on the site are amazingly powerfull. I'm not
used to perl and awk and stuff and i think bringing this concept to the
windows world is a very
good move.

Is there a good way of patching the following sequence of caracters in a
string without too much trouble?

^(?=\d)(?:(?:(?:(?:(?:0?[13578]|1[02])(\/|-|\.)31)\1|(?:(?:0?[1,3-9]|1[0-2])
(\/|-|\.)(?:29|30)\2))(?:(?:1[6-9]|[2-9]\d)?\d{2})|(?:0?2(\/|-|\.)29\3(?:(?:
(?:1[6-9]|[2-9]\d)?(?:0[48]|[2468][048]|[13579][26])|(?:(?:16|[2468][048]|[3
579][26])00))))|(?:(?:0?[1-9])|(?:1[0-2]))(\/|-|\.)(?:0?[1-9]|1\d|2[0-8])\4(
?:(?:1[6-9]|[2-9]\d)?\d{2}))($|
(?=\d)))?(((0?[1-9]|1[012])(:[0-5]\d){0,2}(
[AP]M))|([01]\d|2[0-3])(:[0-5]\d){1,2})?$
