Convert UTC Date to datetime string Javascript

Question

I have a UTC date string, "2011-10-30T18:30:00Z", and I want to convert it to "2011-10-30 18:30". Can anyone give me some advice how to do this? I would appreciate for your time and consideration.

Thanks

Solution 1

str=str.replace(/T|\:\d\dZ/g,' ')

Solution 2

The easiest solution is to try the following:

var date = new Date("2011-10-30T18:30:00Z");

This will convert it into a normal Javascript date, at which point you can use whatever data operators you like.

In IE8 it returns NaN. >>new Date("2011-10-30T18:30:00Z").toString() "NaN"

Interesting. Does new Date(Date.parse("2011-10-30T18:30:00Z")).toString() work in IE8?

[Mr.Hunt]

no, it returns "NaN" as well. Infact, it fails while doing Date.parse
