Need Assistance In Creating Custom Dictionary Entry

I tried using the built in dictionary for identifying date, but it matches too many different character strings (3-1, 17.2, 3.2.10, etc) that represent chapter numbers and not dates. I have tried creating a custom dictionary to look for dates assigning the following as Standard Names, but they either do not return anything or they throw an error during compile due to no white space after the wildcards.

[0-1][0-9]//[0-3][0-9]//[19-20][0-2][0-9]
////*
??//??//??

  • // * // *

How can I create a dictionary entry that ONLY matches a date that is in the format MM/DD/YYYY?
