I have date string like Fri, 15 Nov 2013 09:00:00 -0600 in JavaScript(sent by server PHP). I need to parse this and get the timezone offset '-0600'. Is there any easy way to get the timezone offset from this string?

Thanks

  • Do you have access to the PHP, it might be cleaner to do this on the server side. Not to mention PHP's time/date functions are a little more flexible IMO.

    Have you tried using Date.parse() in conjunction with Date.getTimezoneOffset()?

    @DCoder getTimezoneOffset() returns the local offset on the specified date, not the offset from the string.

Reset to default

var str = "Fri, 15 Nov 2013 09:00:00 -0600"
var output = str.split(' ').pop();

  • split didnt work directly in some cases, I am using like 'str.toString().split(' ').pop()'. Yet to test on all browsers.

var reg_exp = /(-|\+)\d{4}/,
    timezone_offset = reg_exp.match("Fri, 15 Nov 2013 09:00:00 -0600")[0];
