I have a DateTime string ISO8601 formated

2012-10-06T04:13:00+00:00

and the following Regex which does not match this string

#(d{4})-(d{2})-(d{2})T(d{2}):(d{2}):(d{2})+(d{2}):(d{2})#

I can't figure out why it does not match.

I escaped metacharacters, for me it seems to be OK.

Don't quote the regex when specifying a regex in js. Forward slash is enough.

alert($('#datepicker').val());



if($('#datepicker').val().match(

    /(d{4})-(d{2})-(d{2})T(d{2}):(d{2}):(d{2})[+-](d{2}):(d{2})/

)) {

    alert('ok');

} else {

    alert('not ok');

}
