Regular Expression to validate a timestamp

Question

I need a regular expression to validate a timestamp of the format, using Javascript:

YYYY/MM/DD HH:MI:SS

I trie

Answer 1

If you just want to validate the syntax, here is the POSIX regex:

[0-9]{1,4}/[0-9]{1,2}/[0-9]{1,2} [0-9]{1,2}:[0-9]{1,2}:[0-9]{1,2}

But if you want to check the semantics, I would process the string using your language of choice, there are too many cases you cannot cover with regular expressions (like leap years/seconds, daylight savings, etc)
