I have a Datetime string with unknown format, and I would like to split it to 2 different variables of Date & Time but keep the same format.

The format can contain several spaces so I can't split the string by spaces (for example: "MMMM dd, yyyy hh:mm:ss:SSS T").

How can I do it?

This could be a starting idea, but as @RobG noticed (in ment) is format dependent:

datetime = new Date(dateTimeInString);
day = datetime.getDate();
month = datetime.getMonth() + 1; //month: 0-11
year = datetime.getFullYear();
date = year + "-" + day + "-" + month;
hours = datetime.getHours();
minutes = datetime.getMinutes();
seconds = datetime.getSeconds();
time = hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds;
