The substring() function allows you to pull out any combination of characters from a string. In this example, an unformated date string such as 19990422 (which represents April 22, 1999) can be split up into 1999, 04, and 22. Each of these are separate variables that you can deal with independently in your scripts!

Add the below code to the <body> section of your page:

Select All


		<script 
		language="javascript"
		type="text/javascript">      
		

		/* Visit http://www.yaldex.com/ 
		for full source code

		and get more free JavaScript, CSS and DHTML scripts! */

		<!-- Begin

		var 
		date =
		"19990422";
		// yyyymmdd variable

		year 
		= 
		date.substring(0,4);

		month 
		= 
		date.substring(4,6);

		day 
		= 
		date.substring(6,8);

		datestring 
		= 
		month +
		"/"
		+ 
		day +
		"/"
		+ 
		year;

		document.writeln("<b>"+date
		+
		" converts to "
		+ 
		datestring+"</b>");

		//  End -->

		</script>
