I have this date fromat:
Mon Feb 02 2015 05:18:44 GMT+0000 (UTC)
How can I reformat it to something more friendlier such as 2/2/2015
I am using javascript.
I tried using .format and dateFormat but they both return undefined value.
How can I do this? I don't want to use any regex please.
If you want the simplest way just concat all of the separate parts
var output = dt.getMonth( ) + 1 +'/'+ dt.getDate( ) + '/' +dt.getFullYear( );
There are a few libraries that will handle more advanced stuff if you need it, but that is the lightest way I can think of doing what you are asking.
Use this awesome library. Moment JS
For your case it would be some thing link
var dateString = 'Mon Feb 02 2015 05:18:44 GMT+0000';
var date = new Moment(dateString);
alert(date.format('MM/dd/YYYY'));
var d = new Date();
var n = d.toLocaleDateString();
I think this will give you desired output.
You can pass it to Date Object:
var dateString = "Mon Feb 02 2015 05:18:44 GMT+0000 (UTC)";
var date = new Date(dateString);
date.getDate(); // > 2 (the day number)
date.getMonth(); // > 1 (the month number as 0 is January, 11 is December)
You can also find a lib to do the format job or format yourself.
There are many ways to parse and re-format a date. Here is a very simple method that works for your date format:
var d = 'Mon Feb 02 2015 05:18:44 GMT+0000 (UTC)';
var dStr = new Date(d).toDateString();
The value of dSTr will be something like 'Sun Feb 01 2015'.
