Can someone tell me why this returns ''dob is invalid'' when dob
is
''01/01/1969''?
validates_format_of :dob, :with => /[0-9]{2}.[0-9]{2}.[0-9]
{4}/, :message => ''is invalid''
I''m trying to validate a date entred into a form. I suppose there are
different ways to accomplish this, and because it doesn''t work,
I''m
going to be using them, but this seems like a basic format that should
work.
irb gives me this:
>> "01/01/2007" =~ /[0-9]{2}.[0-9]{2}.[0-9]{4}/
=> 0
>> "01/01/2007" =~ %r{[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{4}}
=> 0
>> "01/01/2007" =~ %r{^[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{4}$}
=> 0
none of these combinations work in validates_format_of.
Ideas? Things to try?
Mike B.
