URGENT !!!!! Partial value save in a variable

17011981

can we save the partial value in a variable

e.g. the text is

Submitted by Super User on 03/05/2009

Now, i just want to save the value "03/05/2009" in a variable.

narayan

$s = "Submitted by Super User on 03/05/2009"
$s = $s.replace(/Submitted by Super User on /, "");

should work I hope.

Hi narayan

In this text, "Submitted by Super User on 03/05/2009"

this date is dynamic and "Super User" is the first name and last name of user and is also dynamic...

I need to store the date only in a variable... irrespective of this text ...

narayan

$s = "Submitted by Super User on 03/05/2009"
$s = $s.replace(/Submitted by .* on /, "");

or

$s = "Submitted by Super User on 03/05/2009"
$s = $s.replace(/.*[ ]/, ""); // match anything upto and including last space.

Narayan, thanks for rthe qyuick response...but i am still been stuck....

Actually, in the text:

"Submitted by Bradd Nathan on 05/03/2009"

Here the date is variable...(which i need to store in a variable)
the user name "Bradd Nathan" is also variable ...but the solution u gave is ok to me...

Code:
$s = "Submitted by Super User on 03/05/2009"
$s = $s.replace(/.*[ ]/, ""); //

Here, in the solution u provide, the date has become hard coded (03/05/2009)...now everytime, in the variable $s, it will store the date as "03/05/2009"...while in this variable i need to store the varible date....

Please provide ur solution... as this has stopped my progress...

Hi,

if its always the current date than you can try this:

var $now = new Date();
var $monthday = $now.getDate();
var $month = parseInt($now.getMonth()) + 1;
var $year = $now.getFullYear();
var $currentDate = $month + "/" + $monthday + "/" + $year;

$s = "Submitted by Super User on " + $currentDate;
$s = $s.replace(/.*[ ]/, "");

Pankaj.

pankaj..thnx for the reply...but this is not always the curent date this date varies from back date to current date...

pankaj.nith

from where do you get this string? i mean is it displayed on your web page?
if yes, than you can store it in a variable first and then use it.

17011981, (I wish you got a proper name like the rest of us! )

$s = "Submitted by Super User on 03/05/2009"

was an example.

You would mostly have to do this

$s = "";
_set($s, _getText(_spandiv("message"))); // Again an example. replace _spandiv("message") with the element that has that message.
$s = $s.replace(/.*[ ]/, "");

Btw, I did not understand your problem regarding

var $date;
_set($date, _getText(_textbox("id")));

Did you get a solution for it?

Regards,
Narayan

Hi,

if it is a textbox with some prefilled data (date), i think
var $date;
_set($date, _getText(_textbox("id").value));
should work.

Pankaj.

Oops! it should be
var $date;
_set($date, _textbox("id").value);
