Convert yyyymmdd to dd-mmm-yyyy

Question

I have a date in the format yyyymmdd. Ex: 20141004

What I need to do is to convert it like dd-mmm-yyyy. Ex: 4 Oct 2014

There is a similar question here: JavaScript convert string into Date with format (dd mmm yyyy) i.e. 01 Jun 2012

The difference is that I have no "/" character to split by.

Another limitation is that I cannot use any external library, as this code is used inside another tool, so I need native JS.

You might want to take a look at [momentjs](http://momentjs.com) for things like this. — Mike S, Aug 04 '14 at 13:59
The question and answer is not the same, as you can se I have no "/" in my date string, so I cannot split it. — Sorin, Aug 04 '14 at 14:04
this is a good JQuery Lib: https://github.com/phstc/jquery-dateFormat — YANTHO, Aug 04 '14 at 14:07

I did it like this:

var date = "20141004";
var y = date.substring(0, 4);
var m = parseInt(date.substring(4, 6), 10);
var d = date.substring(6, 8);

var months = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'];

mm = months[m - 1];

document.write(d + " " + mm + " " + y);
