Hi,

Are you looking for below code ?

C#

string str = "3/33/3333";
           Regex regex = new Regex(@"(?<month>\d{1,2})/(?<day>\d{1,2})/(?<year>(?:\d{4}|\d{2}))",
                           RegexOptions.IgnoreCase
                           | RegexOptions.Multiline
                           | RegexOptions.IgnorePatternWhitespace
                           | RegexOptions.Compiled
                           );

           Match m = regex.Match(str);

when you can solve the problem in 2line code?
he ask for regex probably he don't know that there is a easy way with out regex!
if he just want regex your solution is pretty good!

AmitGajjar 4-Jun-12 4:52am

even single line can do that :)

str.Split('/')[1]

absolutely right!:)

Solution 2

repalce string with "/"

C#

function string Repalce()
{
    string str="5/33/2012";
    str.replace("/","")
    return str;//You get here "5332012"
}

you want 33
then

C#

"5332012"
str.substring(1,2)
return str;//You get here 33

where's the regular expression?

kodeLogic 4-Jun-12 3:46am

Needs to check if the month is a one digit (str.substring(1,2)) or two digits (str.substring(2,2)).

even if you do not want to use Regex, this is not right way... totally disagree....

you can use str.Split('/')[1] instead.

ya i have not used regular expression but using this way we can also do.

Solution 1

Don't know the exact regex, but I'm sure you'll find what you need here:

On a side note, the string you've posted isn't a valid datetime.

Solution 5

The value between slashes can be retrieved using the Regex class as shown below:

C#

string date = @"5/33/2012";
string valueInSlashes = Regex.Match(date,@"(?<=/\s*)\d*(?=\s*/)",
    RegexOptions.CultureInvariant).Value;
//valueInSlashes = 33

The pattern @"(?<=/\s*)\d*(?=\s*/)" matches digits within slashes.
