I am using the following pattern of RegEx for validating the date.

but it not giving proper result for Feb 31 date

p_regex = ' (0?[1-9]|[0-9]|3[01])[- /.](0?[1-9]|1[012])[- /.](19|20)?[0-9] '

create object regex

exporting

pattern = p_regex

ignore_case = ''.

matcher = cl_abap_matcher=>create(

pattern = p_regex

ignore_case = ' '

table = i_files ).

Any Info?

Feb has only 28 days or 29(Leap year).

Might be this is the reason ...

Solved.

My RegEx was wrong. The RegEx mentioned in my question is will work fine with dd/mm/yyyy format. But date format is mm/dd/yyyy

Corect RegEx


' (0?[1-9]|1[012])[- /.](0?[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[- /.](19|20)?[0-9]{2} '
