In response to your edit:
You need to parse the date string to build a
Date
object, and then you can get the timestamp, for example:In the above function I use a simple regular expression to extract the digits, then I build a new Date object using the Date constructor with that parts (Note: The Date object handles months as 0 based numbers, e.g. 0-Jan, 1-Feb, ..., 11-Dec).
Then I use the unary plus operator to get the timestamp.
Note also that the timestamp is expressed in milliseconds.
