I am trying to figure out how to find an indeterminate number of dates within a string of alphabetic characters. For example:

sdfldsjj5/7/2005jdjfj;sdklfjdkfsd5-7-2005dfsdffs

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Do a search for regular expression libraries for ASP. A regular expression should be able to do this with no problems.

You will do a regex for your different date formats, and then you will use a findAll type function to extract all the dates into an array.
