Answer 1

You could split() using space as the delimiter, slice() the required elements and then join() again with a space.

str = str.split(' ').slice(1, 4).join(' ');

jsFiddle.

Answer 2

var date_split = date_string.split(" ");
var new_date_string = date_split[1]+" "+date_split[2]+" "+date_split[3];

Answer 3

You can use Regular expressions:

For this: /[\s][A-Za-z0-9]+[\s][0-9]+/

Answer 4

You can make arrays of the string and manipulate the array members back to a string, but it is simpler to just cut the existing string at the space before the hours.

var D='Fri May 13 2011 19:59:09 GMT 0530 (India Standard Time)';
alert(D.substring(0, D.search(/\s+\d{2}\:/))
/* returned value: (String)
Fri May 13 2011 
*/
