Hello,

I am looking for a regex code that would signal me when the only text in the source is a date (date and nothing but the date). The format of the date is always this: 26 mars 2020 followed by a tag.

Any ideas what that piece of code would look like?

thank you and much love and health to all of you!!

Try this Mar 12, 2020

1. This one is for "XX anymonth XXXX" or "X anymonth XXXX"
^\d{1,2}\s(janvier|février|mars|avril|mai|juin|juillet|août|septembre|octobre|novembre|décembre)\s\d{4}$
If you always have 2 chars for date (including 01, 02, 03, etc.), then remove 1, from the ^\d{1,2} group to read as ^\d{2}

Which tag? I can't figure out a situation with one trailing tag. Formatting (like bold or italics) gives a pair of tags. 'Field' text (like automatic page numbering) or tabs give no tag... See more

Which tag? I can't figure out a situation with one trailing tag. Formatting (like bold or italics) gives a pair of tags. 'Field' text (like automatic page numbering) or tabs give no tag at all...

2. Try this for dates with any tag(s) at the end:
^\d{1,2}\s(janvier|février|mars|avril|mai|juin|juillet|août|septembre|octobre|novembre|décembre)\s\d{4}<.*?>$
This portion <.*?> includes both paired and unpaired tags.

3. Try this for dates with an unpaired tag at the end:
^\d{1,2}\s(janvier|février|mars|avril|mai|juin|juillet|août|septembre|octobre|novembre|décembre)\s\d{4}<.*?/>$
