Javascript Convert Date Time string to Epoch

so I give up...been trying to do this all day;

I have a string that supplies a date and time in the format dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm (04/12/2012 07:00).

I need to turn that into an Epoch date so I can do some calculations upon it. I cannot modify the format in which the date time is sent to me.

JavaScript or jQuery is fine.

JavaScript dates are internally stored as milliseconds since epoch. You just need to convert it to a number, e.g. with the unary + operator, to get them. Or you can use the .getTime method.

The harder will be parsing your date string. You likely will use a regex to extract the values from your string and pass them into Date.UTC:

var parts = datestring.match(/(\d{2})\/(\d{2})\/(\d{4}) (\d{2}):(\d{2})/);
return Date.UTC(+parts[3], parts[2]-1, +parts[1], +parts[4], +parts[5]);

This will yield 1354604400000 ms for your example date.

var someDate = new Date(dateString);
someDate = someDate.getTime();

You can use the momentjs library to do this rather easily.

var epoch = moment(str).unix();

i used this code to convert my string datetime to epoch

new Date(<datetime string>').getTime()

for example :

let epoch = new Date('2016-10-11').getTime()

var time = new Date().getTime() / 1000 + 900 + 330*60;

console.log("time = "+time);

getTime() will return current time with milleseconds in last 3 digit so divide it by 1000 first. Now I have added 900 means 15 min which I need from my current time(You can delete if you do not require further delay time), 330*60(5 hr 30) is required to convert GMT time to IST which is my current region time.
