How can I create alphanumeric recognized tokens?

Question

How can I create tokens to automatically recognize date formats and other strings which are not recognized in my languages (for 10 years now)? 
 My strings will include: 
 Dates 
 Source Alphanumeric > Target Day of Week 
 Source Alphanumeric > Target Month 
 Source Alphanumeric > Target Year 
 (Alpha)numeric > (via a mathematical calculation) > Target Year 
 Combinations of the above, hopefully able to interact with the target language settings for long date, short date, etc. 
 Addresses and document codes 
 Source Alpanumeric > Target Alphanumeric 
 (If I could see the Regex for currently functioning date tokens and knew where to register them in Studio, I think I could work these out. 
 Thanks

Hi Peter Ross 
 You want this for TM leverage and autopropagation, correct? Not for QA? For translation/editing/TM leverage, I'd suggest you look into TermInjector and RegexAutoSuggest, bot free apps in the appstore. 
 They both work with Regex, but AFAIK you can't do calculations with Regex, it's just pattern recognition. 
 I am sure you know the Regex module of the QA Checker.

 This sounds fairly complex. There is an SDK...

 You can't. The only options available to you are things like the terminjector app that Danel mentioned, or crete a new TM provider plugin yourself using the APIs. The current version of Studio has no mechanism for allowing the creation of custom recognisors.
