==============================================
lst = ["2/2/2", "3/3/45", "345/03/45", "4/4/2009", "4/4/12345",
"12/12/555", "12/12", "2/2", "2/12", "12/2"]
regex = r"\b\d+/\d+/\d{2,4}\b|\b\d{1,2}/\d{1,2}\b"
lst2 = []
for date in lst:
if not re.search(regex, date):
lst2.append(date)
print lst2
===============================================
This outputs []
What I want is ['2/2/2', '4/4/12345']
Please?
