I needed a way to access the filename of a file being uploaded or attached using the input file from a form. So, I created a nice little function to achieve this. Hopefully it comes in handy for someone.

function get_name_from_path(str_filepath)
{
    var obj_re = new RegExp(/([^\/\\]+)$/);
    var str_name = obj_re.exec(str_filepath);

    if (str_name == null)
    {
        return null;
    }
    else
    {
        return str_name[0];
    }
}

This is a great little function that I use to capitalize every word in a string.

function wordToUpper(str_sentence)
{
    return str_sentence.toLowerCase().replace(/\b[a-z]/g, convertToUpper);

    function convertToUpper()
    {
        return arguments[0].toUpperCase();
    }
}

// Is today Friday?
Date.today().is().friday();
 
// Number fun
(3).days().ago();

// 6 months from now
var n = 6;
n.months().fromNow();
 
// Set to 8:30 AM on the 15th day of the month
Date.today().set({ day: 15, hour: 8, minute: 30 });
 
// Convert text into Date
Date.parse(‘today’);
Date.parse(‘t + 5 d’); // today + 5 days
Date.parse(‘next thursday’);
Date.parse(‘February 20th 1973′);
Date.parse(‘Thu, 1 July 2004 22:30:00′);
