正则应用之——日期正则表达式（Regular applications -- date regular expressions） 1 Overview First of all, it should be noted, either Winform, or Webform, has a very mature calendar controls, whether or scalability from the ease of use, selection and calibration date or use the calendar control to achieve better. A few days ago in the CSDN section see the need for dates, regular posts, so tidy up this article, and discuss and exchange with you, if there are omissions or errors, but also please correct me. The date regular is generally required for formatting, and the data is not used directly by the user input. Because of the different scenarios, the rules are different and the complexity is different. Regular writing needs to be analyzed in detail according to specific circumstances. A basic principle is to write only the right one and not the complex one. For date extraction, as long as it can be separated from the non date, write the simplest regular, such as \d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} If you can uniquely locate the date in the yyyy-MM-dd format in the source string, you can extract it. For validation, it is not meaningful to verify only the composition and format of the characters, but also to check the rules. Because of the existence of leap year, the check routine of dates becomes more complicated. Lets examine the effective range of the date and what is a leap year. 2 date rule 2.1 the valid range of the date For the valid range of the date, different application scenarios will vary. The valid range of the DateTime object defined in MSDN is: 0001-01-01 00:00:00 to 9999-12-31 23:59:59. UNIX timestamp 0, according to the ISO 8601 specification: 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z. In practical applications, the date range will not go beyond the scope of DateTime, so regular verification takes the usual range of dates. 2.2 what is a leap year? (excerpt from Baidu Encyclopedia) Leap (year) is designed to make up for the time difference between the number of days per year for the calendar and the actual
