Validation of a date with a given format

25 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hi. I am designing a GUI. I have an edit text box where I enter a date string with the following format '31 Mar 2011 10:00:00.000'. I need code to validate it and write an error message in case of invalid input. Thank you for your attention. Cheers.

Thank you all for the answers. This is one of the posible callback function codes corresponding to the edit text box that it can be used:
user_entry = get(hObject,'string');
control = regexp(user_entry,'[0-3]\d (Jan|Feb|Mar|...|Dec) \d\d\d\d (0\d|1[0-2]):[0-5]\d:[0-5]\d.\d\d\d')
if(numel(control)==0)
errordlg('Invalid Input Format','Error Message','modal')
uicontrol(hObject)
end

try
D = datenum(Inpt,'dd mmm yyyy HH:MM:SS.FFF')
catch
error('Incorrect Format')
end

@Matt Fig: Thank you for your answer. Excuse me for being pedantic. It was not my intention. Cheers.

I wasn't saying you _were_ pedantic, only that as far as I know, you _might_ want to the user to enter in exactly 3 values for the milliseconds position. If you don't care about this, then the code should work fine if the user enters only one value. All else will be checked as you requested....

fmt = 'dd mmm yyyy HH:MM:SS.FFF';
dt = [];
while isempty(dt)
x = input(['enter date string in ',fmt,' format: '],'s');
try
dt = datenum(x,fmt);
catch
disp(['Hey idiot, I said ',fmt,' format'])
end
end
(Obviously I'm using input in place of the GUI entry, but the basic structure/flow would be the same)

Basic validation:
regexp(t, '[0-3]\d (Jan|Feb|Mar|...|Dec) \d\d\d\d (0\d|1[0-2]):[0-5]\d:[0-5]\d.\d\d\d')
Once you've done the basic validation, you can cross-check for consistency such as the maximum day number being appropriate for the month.

@Walter Roberson: Thank you for your answer. It looks like to be the shortest one but it needs adittional code to show an error message. Cheers.
