A simple regex would match a mm/dd/yy as (\d{1,2})\/(\d{1,2})\/(\d{1,4}) Then you could mix two of those with the "to" in the middle: to: \s+-\s+ mix: (\d{1,2})\/(\d{1,2})\/(\d{1,4})\s+-\s+(\d{1,2})\/(\d{1,2})\/(\d{1,4}) The Datepicker widget with the perverse keyboard a11y seems to be totally irrelevant to copy paste. > The appropriate layout, given the working scenario: > http://i41.tinypic.com/9t26vc.png > > The "your frickin nuts if you expect me to do this ~25,000 times" layout: > http://i42.tinypic.com/vqk6qt.png So you want date parse routine that accepts mm/dd/yy or mm/dd/yyyy and converts that to a standard format? -- Garrett comp.lang.javascript FAQ: http://jibbering.com/faq/

Yes; but the question was does it fail *nicely*. Also, <URL:http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/js-maths.htm#Ierr> shows errors (factor of 10) in IE8 with long integer to string. In <URL:http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/js-date0.htm#TDO>, go to "Date Object String Output Methods" - certain other questions become obvious by the blankness of the new column. What does the yellow above indicate? Thanks. Pages updated. -- (c) John Stockton, nr London, UK. ?@merlyn.demon.co.uk Turnpike v6.05. Web <URL:http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/> - w.

Page was blank. It should work; it does for me, clicking the link in the previous article. It will want CSS & JS files, not big, and executes code while loading, but only briefly. Page last changed about Feb 21. Do others see it? >> In<URL:http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/js-date0.htm#TDO>, go to "Date >> Object String Output Methods" - certain other questions become obvious >> by the blankness of the new column.
