Question

I have a string of format YYMMDDHHMMSS. How to create a js date object from this pattern? Is there any built in method for this? Or I have to create split the string into array of string (each of length 2 characters) then used in new Data object?

Answer 1

Simplest to just parse out each date part and pass them in the correct order to the Date constructor;

var s = "120109123456";
var d = new Date(2000 + +s.substr(0, 2),
    s.substr(2, 2) - 1,
    s.substr(4, 2),
    s.substr(6, 2),
    s.substr(8, 2),
    s.substr(10, 2));
