Question

How do I trim javascript date object returned as 01/26/2012 into 1/26/2012?
it could be applicable for both month or days.
So 01/01/2012 should be trimmed as 1/1/2012.
Regular expression? jquery trim function? I am not sure how to go on this?

var date=date.replace(/^0+/, ''); 

or

var trimmed = s.replace(/\b(0(?!\b))+/g, "")

For a simple string operation, a RegEx can be used:

date = date.replace(/\b0(?=\d)/g, '')
