Split and rearranging Date

[Bey]

Hey there,

I am currently trying to split a date i'm getting and rearrange it.
At the moment the date is shown like this in my html:

dd-mm-yyyy

but I need to rearrange it to

yyyy/mm/dd

to be able to use it and get more information from my json file, does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance,
Bey

This works...

var $date = '15-09-2001';
alert($date);
$date = $date.replace(/(\d+)-(\d+)-(\d+)/, '$3/$2/$1');
alert($date);

Neat. Except that you should have explain to Bey a little bit more about RegExp. You gave him the fish, ok, but you should have given him the rod, as well

LOL! I was going to say the same thing. The rod and some fishing lessons.

Ah, yes. The whole "Teach a man to fish" routine. My Appologies.

I would like to know more about this technique as well, if someone would please indulge those of us who are ignorant on this.

Thanks for both the fish and the rod! now I can practise, the link you gave me is a good guide.
