Javascript: parse date to certain string

Question

I hope you can help me with some JavaScript because I'm a bit lost..

I'm trying to achieve in the easiest way the next format of string for Date object.

var now = new Date();
//how to convert to a pattern like this example: "30/1/2012 20:00:00"  ?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

using the format function in the below link, you can do something like:

var now = new Date();
now.format("dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss");

Answer 2

The easy way: http://jsfiddle.net/tftd/UtVnU/

var date = new Date();
//how to convert to a pattern like this example: "30/1/2012 20:00:00"  ?
var time = date.getDay()+"/"+date.getMonth()+"/"+date.getYear()+" "+date.getHours()+":"+date.getMinutes()+":"+date.getSeconds();

alert(time) /* Outputs 6/2/112 22:16:15 */

You can get everything from the variable date.
