Javascript Remove Day Name from Date

Question

i wanted to ask if someone knows how to remove the Day Name from the following example,the alert returns Sat Feb 29 2020, im not using Moment.js only Jquery because i only need to be able to handle the date in the format that is written below as code.

var mydate = new Date('29 Feb 2020');
alert(mydate.toDateString());

Thank you for reading this question and hope i make clear what my problem is

Answer 1

The Date#toDateString method would result always returns in that particular format.

So either you need to generate using other methods available or you can remove using several ways,

---

1. Using String#split, Array#slice and Array#join

var mydate = new Date('29 Feb 2020');
// split  based on whitespace, then get except the first element
// and then join again
alert(mydate.toDateString().split(' ').slice(1).join(' '));

2. Using String#replace

var mydate = new Date('29 Feb 2020');
// replace first nonspace combination along with whitespace
alert(mydate.toDateString().replace(/^\S+\s/,''));

3. Using String#indexOf and String#substr

var mydate = new Date('29 Feb 2020');
// get index of first whitespace
var str = mydate.toDateString();
// get substring
alert(str.substr(str.indexOf(' ') + 1));
