Question

I simply need to get the substring from this parsed XML date

var cDateEnd = new Date(Date.parse(cDateEndXML));

Currently the output looks as follows:

Tue Jan 29 2013 00:00:00 GMT-0700 (MST)

However all I need is

Tue Jan 29 2013

Whenever I add substring the console prints that it has no method ‘substring’

Any help would be great!

Answer 1

You should first convert it to a string.

var cDateEnd = new Date(Date.parse(cDateEndXML));
console.log(cDateEnd.toString().substring(0,15)); // prints "Tue Jan 29 2013"
