Question

Hi guys I am using the Google RSS API (ATOM) to extract RSS feeds. It returns a published date in JSON format in a long string version like:

Sun, 24 Jun 2012 17:00:00 -0700

How can I convert this string to show 24/06/2012 using JavaScript for example?

Do you mean something like:

var d = new Date('Sun, 24 Jun 2012 17:00:00 -0700');
var day = d.getDay();
var month = d.getMonth();
var date = d.getDate();  
var year = d.getFullYear();
var formatted = date + "/" + month + "/" + year;
