Question

I'm trying to loop through an array and work out which items are dates. To do this I am running the values through Date.parse(value), which is supposed to only parse valid dates.

The problem is that this string is parsed as a date

"Test Title 1"

Example: http://jsfiddle.net/jonhobbs/LHeQ8/

This tells me that you can't trust Date.parse at all but I don't know of an alternatve. I've tried the moment.js library and that gives me the same thing as it uses Date.parse() internally.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Answer was to use a regex instead.
