with this format "20130411". Not "2013.kjh" or "NN.201304", or "2013mmkk04".
You might need to refine your definition of 'this format'. Must it be a valid date ? Can it be in the future ? Can it be anywhere in the past ? Could it be less than 8 digits ? ... Etc. If you'd want _precisely_ 8 digits and wouldn't care about validness of the date,
m/^[\d]{8}$/ might be the regex you want,

Comment on Re: Regex pattern to find directories only with digits
Thank you for your thoughts Mr K. Well I just want to find any directory whos names are only made up of digits. It could either be a date, or even just a of a one digit. like 2. Thank you for clarifying doubts so sooner. :)
