How can I do the following in C# :

var re = /^\d{4}(\/\d{2}){2} \d{2}(:\d{2}){2}$/;
re.test('2013/03/05 15:22:00'); // returns true

Answer 1

The below code should get you where you want to be.

Regex rx = new Regex(@"^\d{4}(\/\d{2}){2} \d{2}(:\d{2}){2}$");
String test = "2013/03/05 15:22:00";

if (rx.IsMatch(test))
{
    //Test String matches
}
else
{
    //Test String does not match
}

Answer 2

You can use the Regex.IsMatch instead (docs).

Regex.IsMatch("2013/03/05 15:22:00", @"^\d{4}(\/\d{2}){2} \d{2}(:\d{2}){2}$"); // true if match
