Regular expression

Show all headers | View raw

myDate has the following format ex. 2013/04/22 03:34
I want to use this pattern
var m = myDate.match(/^\d{4}-\d\d-\d\d (\d\d):(\d\d)$/),
        hour = +m[1],
        min  = +m[2];

But before I can use this pattern
I need to change the - to / because the pattern works for format like
format ex. 2013-04-22 03:34

My first attempt is to replace the - with / but when  I do so
I get green underline and invalid character
var m = myDate.match(/^\d{4}/\d\d/\d\d (\d\d):(\d\d)$/),
             hour = +m[1],
             min  = +m[2];

My second attempt is to use escape character.
So I add the escape character \ immediately before character / but when I do 
so
I get runtime error
var m = myDate.match(/^\d{4}\/\d\d\/\d\d (\d\d):(\d\d)$/),
             hour = +m[1],
             min  = +m[2];

So how should I write to replace - with / in the pattern

//Tony
