Hi all, You must have faced situations where you need to convert a date string to a different object. The usual procedure is to first parse the string into a Date object of that language, specifying your formatting string. The next step is to convert the Date object back into a string specifying the new formatter. In order to do this in JavaScript, I came across two libraries which I thought to share with you. Moment.js which is freely distributable under the MIT license. You can download it from here . There are two versions. You can download the minified source if you need to save space. The following example shows how to use it to convert from one format to another. First include the javascript in your files. var oldFormatTime = moment('2012-10-01','YYYY-MM-dd'); var newFormatTime = oldFormatTime.parse('d-MM-YYYY'); So, the final output would be 1-10-2012 In addition to this, I also found the following library.

Hi all !!! After a long time, I thought of putting a post on blogger. Suppose you simply have the build file from an iPhone project, and needs to build a .ipa file from it. It is very simple, if you have the project source code. But, suppose you only have the build, but needs to build a .ipa file from it. You will face this situation if you use Corona SDK for building games etc. Even so, there is a workaround for this. After receiving the build make a folder and name it to "Payload". Put the build inside it and zip it. Then simply rename it to "<projname .ipa>". Now you should be able to use the .ipa file as normal.
