Question

I have the following code that splits dd/mm/yy :

var ukDatea = a.split('/');
return (ukDatea[2] + ukDatea[1] + ukDatea[0]) * 1;

How can I change this so that I can use dd/mm/yy hh:MM and then get the hours and minutes into another array called ukTime? My problem is I am not sure how to split the remainder of the time?

Answer 1

There are several ways of doing that:

• First split on the space, then split the date part on slash and the time part on colon.

• Use a regular expression to extract all the parts.

• Use the DateTime.ParseExact method to parse the string into a DateTime value.
