I need to make a date string of 07-26-2012 look like 7-26-2012. Easy right

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

But 07-05-2012 also needs to be 7-5-2012. What is the best way to do that?

    Try date = date.replace( /0(\d-)/g, "$1" );

    Simple Test.

    var re = /0(\d[\-/])/g;
console.log( "07/02/2012".replace( re, "$1" ) == "7/2/2012" );
console.log( "12-02-2012".replace( re, "$1" ) == "12-2-2012" );
console.log( "01-1-2012".replace( re, "$1" ) == "1-1-2012" );

    If you’re doing heavy date manipulation in javascript then check out date.js
