I would use a regex to accomplish this. The regex:



/w{3,6}day.*(?:am|pm)$/i


It starts by matching 3 or 4 Word chars, followed by 'day', then matches any number of any char until it reaches either 'am' or 'pm' and end of string. It uses the case inssensitive match.



How to use:



var text = 'This text was brought to you by AJAX' 
+ 'Your request was received at:'
+ 'Sunday 11 November 2018, 02:40:00 am'

var dateStr = text.match(/w{3,4}day.*(?:am|pm)$/i);
var date = new Date(dateStr);


Edit:



Changed the quantifier to {3,6} so it matches Wednesday too.
