This is really a regex question.

I am wonding if anyone knows a good Regex expression that would pull a
valid date from a string.

I have used:

strValue = Regex.Replace(valueIn, @"[^\d/]", "");

which works most of the time.

But I have some cases where I have strings like:

05/07/08(-4%)
09/19/08 DOM 55
09/19/2008 DOM 53
FOR 09/15/08 -23
For inspiration see below.

That looks good. Would that handle 1 and 2 digits for days and months
and 2 and 4 for years?

private static readonly Regex re = new
Regex(@"\d{2}/\d{2}/\d{2}", RegexOptions.Compiled);

@"\d{1,2}/\d{1,2}/\d{2,4}"

is more flexible.

Great. That really helps.

Thanks,

Tom
