From where did you got `Wed Jan 10 2018 14:40:39 GMT+0100 (Paris, Madrid)` ? – gurvinder372 Jan 10 '18 at 13:51

@gurvinder372 from `var now = new Date();` – Chayma Atallah Jan 10 '18 at 13:52

Then you should be able to pass this string directly to the `Date` constructor. – gurvinder372 Jan 10 '18 at 13:53

This doesn't solve the question: Try this: `var d = new Date("Wed Jan 10 2018 14:40:39 GMT+0100 (Paris, Madrid)"); d = d.getDate() + '/' + (1 + d.getMonth()) + '/' + d.getFullYear();` JSfiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/r1mb2dub/ – Kent V Jan 10 '18 at 13:59

He wrote he obtained that string doing new Date(), so this solves the question – Gianluca Paris Jan 10 '18 at 14:39

He wants it to be `10/01/2018` . Your code will make it to be `01/10/2018` (MM/DD/YYYY). – Kent V Jan 10 '18 at 14:45

The format of [*toLocaleString*](http://ecma-international.org/ecma-262/8.0/#sec-date.prototype.tojson) is implementation dependent. Whether the value returned by a particular browser matches the OP's format is just luck. For me, the answer gives "1/10/2018", which is not the format used locally, nor does it match the OP. – RobG Jan 10 '18 at 20:18
