In a return of a jquery function, the returned date comes in this format.
/Date(1401731794773)/
I would like to remove the invalid characters on this date, which are:
/Date( and )/
I only need the date (remaining) component to compose a valid date. So how do I do this? I think a REGEX would be the best way, right?
Regex in this case is overkill ... Simply use substring :
var entrada = "/Date(1401731794773)/";
var conteudo = entrada.substring(6, entrada.length-2);
This is possible in this case because both the prefix and the suffix have a fixed size: "/Date(".length == 6 and ")/".length == 2 .
Note: My original response assumed that the code was on the server side, in C #. Anyway, the solution would be the same:
string entrada = "/Date(1401731794773)/";
string conteudo = entrada.Substring(6, entrada.length-2);
With regular expressions you can do this:
var resultado = "/Date(1401731794773)/"
data = resultado.match(/[\d]+/);
console.log(data); // 1401731794773
The expression /[\d]+/ will cause only numbers to be captured.
It's also possible to be doing this:
var resultado = "/Date(1401731794773)/"
data = resultado.replace(/[^\d]+/g, "");
console.log(data); // 1401731794773
The expression /[^\d]+/g causes all non-numeric characters to be matched, which in this case, Date() so simply make the exchange by calling replace() .
I solved it like this:
var dtCadastro = data.agendamento.DataCadastro.substring(6, data.agendamento.DataCadastro.length - 2);
var dtAgendanmento = data.agendamento.DataAgendamento(6, data.agendamento.DataAgendamento.length - 2);
var dtVisita = data.agendamento.DataVisita(6, data.agendamento.DataVisita.length - 2);
The most effective way in javascript is:
var val = "/Date(1402369200000)/";
var re = "/-?\d+/";
console.log(re.exec(val));
// output: ["1402369200000"]
