Convert to toLocaleString date to new Date format

I have a condition where i’m converting date format according to toLocaleString.

const localDate = proDate.toLocaleString("en-GB").replace(/,/g, "");

here proDate is a new Date(someDate) object.

Later in my code i need to convert localDate to new Date() format.

I’m trying to pass new Date(localDate) but getting as invalid date.

The localDate format is 18/03/2023 08:45:47.

Here in my code when i’m trying to convert localDate i dont have access to proDate.

Is any workaround for this.

>Solution :

You could parse it with a regular expression since you know the format.

const localDate = new Date().toLocaleString("en-GB").replace(/,/g, "");
console.log(localDate);
const [, day, month, year, hours, minutes, seconds] = localDate.match(/(\d{2})\/(\d{2})\/(\d{4}) (\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{2})/);
const date = new Date(year, month - 1, day, hours, minutes, seconds)
console.log(date);
