javascript extract date via regular expression

Question

I don\'t know much about regular expressions, but I got a string (url) and I\'d like to extract the date from it:

var myurl = \"https://example.com/display         


        

Answer 1

var myurl = "https://example.com/display/~test/2010/07/06/Day+2.+Test+Page";

var re = /(\d{4})\/(\d{2})\/(\d{2})/
var months = ["","Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"];

var parts = myurl.match(re)

var year = parseInt(parts[1]);
var month = parseInt(parts[2],10);
var day = parseInt(parts[3],10);

alert( months[month] + " " + day + ", " + year );
