Parsing a string 2

[neillovell]

Date() returns this

Wed Nov 20 11:36:47 UTC 2002

How can I parse it to give just the time?

You can try:

var now = new Date();
var timestring = "" + now.getHours() + ":" + now.getMinutes() + ":" + now.getSeconds(); Never too old to learn...

nvb - you need to handle zeros (so you don't get 7:5:2 when it is 7:50:20)....


<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript1.2&quot;>

var now = new Date();
var timestring = &quot;&quot; + zero(now.getHours()) + &quot;:&quot; + zero(now.getMinutes()) + &quot;:&quot; + zero(now.getSeconds());

function zero(inNum){
inNum = &quot;&quot; + inNum //makes sure number is handles as string....
if(inNum.length == 1){
inNum = &quot;0&quot; + inNum
}
return inNum
}
alert (timestring)

Another way :
var date=new Date();
var strDate=new String(date.toLocaleTimeString());
alert (&quot;strDate = &quot; + strDate);
