Splitting a string in javascript

Question

In javascript, how can I get three different substrings for the date, month, and year from the following string: "12/15/2009" ?

Answer 1

var date = "12/15/2009";
var parts = date.split("/");
alert(parts[0]); // 12
alert(parts[1]); // 15
alert(parts[2]); // 2009

Answer 2

You can use the .split() method to break apart the string.

var strDate = "12/15/2009";
var arrDate = strDate.split('/');
var month = arrDate[0];
var day = arrDate[1];
var year = arrDate[2];

Answer 3

If you want to do any more complex date manipulation, you can also convert the string to a JavaScript Date object like this:

var date = new Date("12/15/2009");
alert(date.getFullYear());
alert(date.getMonth() + 1);
alert(date.getDate());
var newYear = new Date("1/1/2010");
alert((new Date(newYear - date)).getDate() + " days till the new year");

Answer 4

Do you want, "12","15", and "2009"? if yes following would return 3 string array.

"12/15/2009".split("/")

Answer 5

Try the following:

var dateString = "12/15/2009";
var dateParts = dateString.split("/");
var month = dateParts[0];
var day = dateParts[1];
var year = dateParts[2];

Answer 6

var splitDate = "12/15/2009".split("/");
var month = splitDate[0];
var day = splitDate[1];
var year = splitDate[2];

Answer 7

try using [yourstring].split(char splitter) to achieve the desired result (i.E. date.split("/")). This will yield a string array.

Answer 8

You can use split to split the string :

var list = "12/15/2009".split('/');
var year = list[2];
var month = list[0];
var day = list[1];
console.log(day, month, year);

Will get you :

15 12 2009
