You can use this very useful little library:

http://momentjs.com/

Example:

moment("2013-05-07T11:04:00+05:30", "MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a");

  • I have used moment as shown in above. i used alert to print.i got "61535982570000". My code is like this " var date=moment("2013-05-07T11:04:00+05:30", "MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a"); alert(date); The date i am getting dynamically. – user2333363 May 07 '13 at 10:09
  • Try with the format function: moment("2013-05-07T11:04:00+05:30").format("dddd, MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a"); – Getz May 07 '13 at 11:52

You should work with the native Date Object - this is the easiest way to handle the string.

You can do the following:

var date = new Date("2013-05-07T11:04:00+05:30");

now you have several Date methods you can use to format your string and get the information you need, e.g. what you want is:

date.toUTCString()
// output:
"Tue, 07 May 2013 05:34:00 GMT"

You also could use a regex or an external library, but probably the best way (imo!) is to simply work with the Date Object.

You might be able to use Date.parse(string), but there is no way to determine what date/time formats a particular JavaScript implementation supports.

Otherwise:

  • Use a regex to break up (and validate) the string, convert each string component into a Number and then pass to the Date constructor taking separate components.
  • Use a library that implements the previous option (eg. see other answer).

  • Any JavaScript implementation that supports ECMAScript 5 will support ISO8601 formatting passed to `Date.parse()`, however others may or may not support this feature (such as IE<=8). For actually formatting the string, using a custom function is recommended, as the native `Date` methods are implementation dependent in their formatting of dates. – Qantas 94 Heavy May 07 '13 at 09:23

moment.js could be a good choice for you, for example:

Actual moment:

moment().format('MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a');

Format: 

moment("2013-05-07T11:04:00+05:30", "MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a");
