I want to remove 12:00:00 AM from following string.

<div class="modal-body">
    <p>1/11/2016 12:00:00 AM - 1/13/2016 12:00:00 AM</p>
</div>

The results should be:

1/11/2016 - 1/13/2016

How can I remove just the 12:00:00 AM from plete string all occurrences of it.

$('.modal-body > p').text().remove("12:00:00 AM");

• If you are getting these time stamps from a database you may want to format them using either SQL or your server-side script. – PeterKA Commented Nov 30, 2015 at 17:27
• @PeterKA you are right I need a quick fix for now. I will ask a separate question for that. Thanks a lot – Aamir Shahzad Commented Nov 30, 2015 at 17:36

You could use the .replace() method:

Example Here

$('.modal-body > p').text(function () {
    return $(this).text().replace(/12:00:00 AM/g, '');
});

Result:

<div class="modal-body">
    <p>1/11/2016  - 1/13/2016</p>
</div>

If you only want to replace the first occurrence, just remove the g flag.
