Convert String To Date Javascript

Question

how can i convert the following string to the required format in javascript:

2013-12-01 03:22:03 = 01 Dec '13

Thanks

This question appears to be off-topic because it can be solved by simply passing the string to new Date() — adeneo

Are you asking how to get the Date(2013-12-01 03:22:03) to print as "01 Dec '13"? — Uxonith

Certainly looks like it. Not all browser will accept the dashes in the date by the way. — mplungjan

Off the top of my head

JSFiddle

function conv(str) {
  var d=new Date(str.replace(/-/g,"/"));
  var day = d.getDate();
  if (day<10) day ="0"+day;
  var yyyy=""+d.getFullYear();
  return ""+day +" "+["Jan","Feb",..."Dec"][d.getMonth()]+" '"+yyyy.substring(2);
}

var dStr = conv("2013-12-01 03:22:03");

The reason to convert from - to / is that not all browsers accept the format with -
