regular expression for matching date in Perl

I want to match dates that have the following format:

2010-08-27 02:11:36

i.e. yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.

Right now I am not very particular about the date being actually feasible, but just that it is in the correct format.

Possible formats that should match are (for this example)

2010
2010-08
2010-08-27
2010-08-27 02
2010-08-27 02:11
2010-08-27 02:11:36

In Perl, what can be a concise regex for this?

I have this so far (which works, btw)

/\d{4}(-\d{2}(-\d{2}( \d{2}(:开发者_JAVA技巧\d{2}(:\d{2})?)?)?)?)?/

Can this be improved performance-wise?


Based on the lack of a capturing group around the year, I assume you care only whether a date matches.

I tried a few different patterns related to the one from your question, and the one that gave a ten- to fifteen-percent improvement was disabling capturing, i.e.,

/\d{4}(?:-\d{2}(?:-\d{2}(?: \d{2}(?::\d{2}(?::\d{2})?)?)?)?)?/

The perlre documentation covers (?:...):

(?:pattern)

(?imsx-imsx:pattern)

This is for clustering, not capturing; it groups subexpressions like (), but doesn't make backreferences as () does. So

@fields = split(/\b(?:a|b|c)\b/)

is like

@fields = split(/\b(a|b|c)\b/)

but doesn't spit out extra fields. It's also cheaper not to capture characters if you don't need to.

Any letters between ? and : act as flags modifiers as with (?imsx-imsx). For example,

/(?s-i:more.*than).*million/i

is equivalent to the more verbose

/(?:(?s-i)more.*than).*million/i

Benchmark output:

How about something from Regexp::Common::time?


Your regex is just fine except for missing anchors (unless you want to match 2008 in "abc200890"?). Assuming you want to match the whole string:

/^\d{4}(?:-\d{2}(?:-\d{2}(?: \d{2}(?::\d{2}(?::\d{2})?)?)?)?)?\z/

(?:...) should be used if you don't actually want the captured substrings, which I'd guess to be the case.


I would use the split function :

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

my @dates = (
'2010',
'2010-08',
'2010-08-27',
'2010-08-27 02',
'2010-08-27 02:11',
'2010-08-27 02:11:36',
);

for (@dates) {
  my @list = split /[ :-]/;
  print Dumper(\@list);
}

output :

$VAR1 = [
          '2010'
        ];
$VAR1 = [
          '2010',
          '08'
        ];
$VAR1 = [
          '2010',
          '08',
          '27'
        ];
$VAR1 = [
          '2010',
          '08',
          '27',
          '02'
        ];
$VAR1 = [
          '2010',
          '08',
          '27',
          '02',
          '11'
        ];
$VAR1 = [
          '2010',
          '08',
          '27',
          '02',
          '11',
          '36'
        ];


This matches all the above (but also other stuff - see the comment!) and may be slightly easier to read:

/(\d{4})(-\d{2})?(\w{1}\d{2})?(:\d{2})?/


If you want faster, then look away from regex, and look at XS modules: Date::Calc is a good one.
