Deleting texts with javascript

Question

I want to remove some changing texts using javascript. I know hwo to remove static text but,

Example text like: Year2012 Mon2 Day18

title.replace("Year2012 Mon2 Day18", "");

The date will change so how do I remove it if its variable (like date)?

You could use regex:

title = title.replace(/Year\d{4}\sMon\d{1,2}\sDay\d{1,2}/, '');

It would appear that title is a string, so innerHTML wouldn't help, the 2nd looks good though.
