[split] regular expression

[metalray]

I have a regex question as well :)

Got a few more dates that I need to find and look for mainly of the
following format: 26 August 1982 05 Mar 1974 *** May 15, 1989 **
Mar. 10, 1976 Dec 14 1975 On regexlib
I found regex for the two cases *** and **.
Should I follow this approach? It seems like a lot of regex :)

** regexlib.com/REDetails.aspx?regexp_id=404

*** regexlib.com/REDetails.aspx?regexp_id=400

Anyone a suggestion?

If by that, you mean regex... sure, unless there's a better (or even just an alternative) idea. Regex seems like the right thing for this use case.

(If you're looking for a better answer, I suggest much more detail in your question.)
