im looking for 04-11-2012 date format

Using today's date (which as an ISO string is currently 2016-03-08T13:51:13.382Z), you can do this:

new Date().toISOString().replace(/T.*/,'').split('-').reverse().join('-')

The output of this is:

-> 08-03-2016

This:

Grabs the date.

Converts it to an ISO string.

Replaces the 'T' and everything after it.

Converts it into an array by splitting on any hyphen ('-') character. ([2016, 03, 08])

Reverses the order of the array. ([08, 03, 2016])

Joins the array back as a string, separating each value with a hyphen character.

Here is a demo using your date (2012-11-04T14:55:45.000Z) as input:

var input = 2012-11-04T14:55:45.000Z,

    output;



output = new Date(input).toISOString().replace(/T.*/,'').split('-').reverse().join('-');



document.getElementById('input').innerHTML = input;

document.getElementById('output').innerHTML = output;

<p><strong>Input:</strong> <span id=input></span></p>

<p><strong>Output:</strong> <span id=output></span></p>
