Remove time from GMT time format

Question

I am getting a date that comes in GMT format, Fri, 18 Oct 2013 11:38:23 GMT. The problem is that the time is messing up the timeline that I am using.

How can I strip out everything except for the actual date?

Answer 1

Like this:

var dateString = 'Mon Jan 12 00:00:00 GMT 2015';
dateString = new Date(dateString).toUTCString();
dateString = dateString.split(' ').slice(0, 4).join(' ');
console.log(dateString);
