Try

var str="1.03:45:00";
var value = str.replace(".", "day ");
alert(value);

DEMO

var x = "1.03:45:00".split('.');
var y = x[0] + ' Day';
var z = x[1].split(':');
var str = y + ' ' + z[0] + 'hours ' + z[1] + 'minutes ' + z[2] + 'second';
console.log(str); //1 Day 03hours 45minutes 00second 
alert(str); //1 Day 03hours 45minutes 00second

.split

json.stringify()

The best way to use a format is javascript is to write your own.

String.prototype.format = function () {
    var args = arguments;
    return this.replace(/{(\d+)}/g, function (match, number) {
        return typeof args[number] != 'undefined' ? args[number] : match;
    });
};

Now after this, formatting can be done like

var formatted = "{0} days {1}".format(elapsedTime.substring(0, elapsedTime.indexOf('.')), elapsedTime.substring(elapsedTime.indexOf('.') + 1));

You can see the example here

The best way is to use replace function :

var str = "1.03:45:00";
str = str.replace('.','day');
