strip timestamp from the date

drakula1234

I am passing a Date in the JSON object to the datatables plugin. The format from webservice call is like

"Sat Jan 10 00:08:00 EST 2009"

, I need to strip off the time, EST and the day, I mean it should look something like

"Jan 10, 2009"

and the column is sorted on the server side. All I need is to strip off the data on the fly on the client side. I am still in the process of learning datatables plugin, I am not sure of implementing this. Experts please point me to the right direction.

Thanks in advance.
