Also The full date 04/10/2015



The date pattern is dd/MM or dd/MM/yyyy



The code:



String mydata = "BB inform: buy your tickect, final card number xxxx, $ 00,00, on 04/10, at 11:28. If you don't recognize call 40032 2412.";



 Pattern p = Pattern.compile("(0[1-9]|1[012])[- /.](0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[- /.](19|20)\d\d");
Matcher m = p.matcher(mydata);


Result:
m.matches() == false

You can try with this regex :



Matcher m = Pattern.compile("(\d1,2/\d1,2/\d4|\d1,2/\d1,2)", Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE).matcher(string);
while (m.find())
System.out.println(m.group(1));



Its looking for a pattern DD/MM or then looking for a DD/MM/YYYY.

  • It doesn't work. I guess it is because there is text before and after the date. if there is only date in the string this will work but not is my case
