JS RegEX operation on getNewNameData.item.create

[slouw]

What am I doing wrong here?
I am trying to apply a STRING.match(RegX_String) method.
The string I am wanting to match is this property:
getNewNameData.item.create
It prints to output like it is a string.
But typeof operator tells me it is an object.
thanks......

    strCreateDateTime = getNewNameData.item.create;
	DOpus.Output("000-0100 StrCreateDateTime BEFORE:     :" + strCreateDateTime);

	var item = getNewNameData.item;
	//                   DayOfWeek
    var regex_CDTime = /^(.{3}).*$/;

	DOpus.Output("000-0110 typeof strCreateDateTime      :" + typeof strCreateDateTime);
	
    var matched = strCreateDateTime.match(regex_CDTime);
//  var matched = str(strCreateDateTime).match(regex_CDTime);

	

}

Looks like you're trying to apply a regex to a Date object, which doesn't make sense. Regex are applied to strings, not dates.

If you want the day name, the Date can give it to you directly, either through the wday property or the Format method.

And so it is!
