easiest way to see if a String like 12-03-1999 12:12:21 matches a list of dateFormats?
Raw
gistfile1.txt
List<SimpleDateFormat> dateFormats = new ArrayList<>();
dateFormats.add(new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss"));
dateFormats.add(new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss"));
dateFormats.add(new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy"));
dateFormats.add(new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy"));
Example:
12-03-1999 12:12:21-> is valid
12-03-1999-> is valid
12-15-231321-> is invalid
