try this one.

^((Mon|Tues|Wednes|Thur|Fri|Satur|Sun)day),[\s]((J(anuary|uly|une))|February|(M(arch|ay))|(A(pril|ugust))|((Sept|Nov|Dec)ember)​|October)[\s][0-9]{1,2},[\s][0-9]{4}

Might just be that your string contains more information than the date.

"Today is Thursday, May 20, 2010" would fail because of the "^" (caret) at the start of the regexp string. Remove the "^" (which means starts with) and try again.

You might try replacing the "^" with "[\w\s]+". That way the string can start with any word or whitespace character.

You can use DateValue function to make the string to a proper date value. And then use regular expression.

^((Mon|Tues|Wednes|Thurs|Fri|Satur|Sun)day),[\s]((J(anuary|uly|une))|February|(M(arch|ay))|(A(pril|ugust))|((Sept|Nov|Dec)ember)​|October)[\s][0-9]{1,2},[\s][0-9]{4}

This works. I have tested it in a regular expression validator.
