Pattern

regexJS
(?:0[1-9]|1[0-2])\/(?:0[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01])\/\d{4}   (flags: g)

JavaScript / ECMAScript code

jsJavaScript
const re = new RegExp("(?:0[1-9]|1[0-2])\\/(?:0[1-9]|[12]\\d|3[01])\\/\\d{4}", "g");
const input = "01/15/2024";
const matches = [...input.matchAll(re)];
console.log(matches.map(m => m[0]));

Uses `String.prototype.matchAll` for global iteration (Node 12+ / all modern browsers).

How the pattern works

Month alternation covers 01-12, day covers 01-31, year is any 4-digit number. Slashes are literal separators escaped with \.
