html - Reformat string containing date with Javascript

Question

I have the following string which I ultimately need to have in the format of mm/yy

    var expDate = 2016-03;
    var formatExp = expDate.replace(/-/g , "/");

This gets me to 2016/03, but how can i get to 03/16?

Answer 1

one solution without regex:

var expDate = '2016-03';
var formatExp = expDate.split('-').reverse().join('/');
//result is 03/2016
alert('result: ' + formatExp);

var formatExpShort = expDate.substring(2).split('-').reverse().join('/');
//result is 03/16
alert('result short: ' + formatExpShort);
