    I suppose that would be

    Pattern.compile
(
    "(Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|Jul|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|Dec) \\d\\d(, \\d\\d\\d\\d)?" +
    " - (Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|Jul|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|Dec) \\d\\d, \\d\\d\\d\\d"
)

    (Note: you may need to tweak that to account for things that aren’t clear in your question — for example, can the day-of-month be just one digit, or must it be two?)

    But I have to wonder if this is the best way to do whatever it is that you’re trying to do. Are you familiar with java.text.SimpleDateFormat? (What exactly is it that you’re trying to do?)
