how to verify input field type string that have the pattern of JSON date

Question

I have string that i get as input which contain json date in format /Date(1234043600000)/ my question is how can I verify that the input is exactly with the json date format ?

I guess I should use /[0-9] / but how I should do it for all the date pattern?

JSON doesn't have date type, date formatting in json is rather a facility of the library you are using (Jackson, Gson...) — morgano

JSON doesn't actually have a native Date type like JavaScript does. It uses strings for that. However, it looks like you are using a JSON string that matches up the string Date with a UNIX timestamp. To match that you'd do this:

/Date\([\d]+\)/

You can simplify [\d] to just \d
