help with Date/Time

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 12.2007

I’m accessing data from various web pages which use different time formats depending on the country they’re in. For example:

the CA site displays 13-Mar-07 11:26:42 EDT
the UK site displays 13-Mar-07 16:00:00 GMT
the AU site displays 13-Mar-07 02:46:35 AEDST
the US site displays Mar-13-07 08:46:35 PDT
and finally the SG site displays Mar 13, 2007 02:00:02 SGT
note these pages were accessed at different times and aren’t conversions.

I think there’s another site that displays something like 12.03.07 02:00:00 or something, too.
I’m just wondering if there’s an easy way to convert these times to date objects? the method only needs to work in Internet Explorer 7+.

Any help would be great!

Thanks,

Jim

@mrhooMar 12.2007 — All the strings you showed are returned from javascript Date methods,

and so can be passed to a Date constructor as is-

var D=new Date(stringfromDateObject)

@rokujouauthorMar 12.2007 — I tried this, it didn't work. I get the error 'NaN'.

I thought there may be some kind of regular expression I could use for filtering out each part of the date and setting it using the date methods. Any more help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Andy
