Question

Trim string, e.g. for date picker

Hello together!

I have a problem to trim my string i get from the date picker.

I recive this string:

Fri May 28 2010 16:46:41 GMT+0200 (CEST)

(Ok… strange, few minutes ago i got the date as 2010-05-28 ?!)

So, anyone know how to get the old date back?

But back to my old question:

I want to trim the (old) string:

2010-05-28 16:46:41 GMT+0200

to

2010-05-28

i tried it with:

datePicker.addEventListener('change', function(e){
    searchDate = e.value;  // here i get an output with Ti.API.Info
    searchDate = searchDate.substring(0,9); // here i get nothing when i try t get an output with Ti.API.info

i tried substr, substring non of these are working.

Any suggestions?

Try something like this…

picker.addEventListener('change',function(e){
    var pickerdate = e.value;
    var day = pickerdate.getDate();
    var month = pickerdate.getMonth();
    var year = pickerdate.getFullYear();
    var newdate = year + "-" + month + "-" + day;
});
