I am being frustrated by a regular expression to mask the input field. I want to Limit input to hh:mm AM|PM format and I can\'t get this regex to work.

I use this

Answer 1

First of all, if you using it for input field, you should never let users input date or time information using text fields and hoping it will be in strict format.

But, if you insist:

/^(0?[1-9]|1[012])(:[0-5]\d) [APap][mM]$/

This regex will validate time in AM/PM format.
