Format Date in Javascript

I have this date:

var newDate = "/Date(1333609200000)/";

And what I need to do to it is:

var myDate = new Date(1333609200000);

I thought about just trimming off "/Date()/" and then getting just the number inside but I wasn’t sure if that would be best here. Should I just simply regex the number out of that? Is there a better approach?

Notes: The date is being created by c#’s JavascriptSerializer and comes in the format newDate above. It cannot be changed in c# due to constraints.

You could do it like this:

var newDate = "/Date(1333609200000)/";

 newDate= new Date(parseInt(newDate.match(/\d/g).join("")));
