create JavaScript Date object from date string

Question

I would like to create a valid JavaScript Date object from the following string "010-10-25T23:25:55.847Z".

This string comes out of a PostGIS database "timestamp with time zone" Data Type field.

Anyone know how i can do this?

Fail: *Edit:*Sorry, i had bad date string:

var startDate = new Date("2010-10-30T14:10:42.377Z");

EDIT #2: This works fine now with the RIGHT date string.... sorry.

var startDate = new Date("2010-10-30T14:10:42.377Z");

@Joey: sorry i had bad date string please see edit. 2010-10-30T14:10:42.377Z — capdragon, Aug 12 '11 at 15:20
The answer you accepted gives you the complete wrong answer. It could be confusing for people searching this in the future. — Joe, Aug 12 '11 at 17:57

not **your** solution, but Mark Davies is wrong, which you marked as correct. Yours is correct. — Joe, Aug 12 '11 at 18:17

I'm not sure what that format it, but this will give you each number:

var results = "010-10-25T23:25:55.847Z".match(/\d+\.{0,1}\d+/g);
var year = results[0]; // maybe ?
var month = results[1];
var day = results[2];
var etc...;
new Date(year, --month, day, hour, minutes, seconds);

or if it's kinda like UTC,

new Date(Date.UTC.apply(this, "010-10-25T23:25:55.847Z".match(/\d+\.{0,1}\d+/g)))
