• javascript
• datetime
• utc

• date.toGMTString().substr(0, 25) – Xymostech Commented Apr 29, 2013 at 19:57

Use slice:

date.toGMTString().slice(0, -4)

Btw, you should notice that toGMTString is deprecated and the same as toUTCString, and that the method does return an implementation-dependent human-readable UTC date string. You cannot be sure that it ends with " UTC" (or " GMT"), so you rather might use

date.toUTCString().replace(/\s*(GMT|UTC)$/, "")

toGMTString() is deprecated... Use toUTCString() instead...

date.toUTCString().slice(0, -4)

var d= new Date();

d=d.toLocaleString(); 

//Converts a Date object to a string, using locale conventions
//hence the UTC or GMT+.. is removed

For ultimate in formatting options and cross-browser consistency, use Moment.js

var m = moment(date);
var s = m.format('ddd, D MMM YYYY H:mm:ss');

See the docs for other format strings, including localizable ones.
