How to get am pm from the date time string using moment js

Question

I have a string as Mon 03-Jul-2017  11 00 AM PM and I have to convert this into a string like 11 00 AM PM using moment js   The problem here is that I am unable to get AM or PM from the date time string   I am doing this   moment Mon 03-Jul-2017  11 00 AM   dd-mm-yyyy hh mm   format  hh mm A     and it is working fine as I am getting 11 00 AM but if the string has PM in it it is still giving AM in the output   like this moment Mon 03-Jul-2017  11 00 PM   dd-mm-yyyy hh mm   format  hh mm A   is also giving 11 00 AM in output instead of 11 00 PM

You are using the wrong format tokens when parsing your input. You should use ddd for an abbreviation of the name of day of the week, DD for day of the month, MMM for an abbreviation of the month's name, YYYY for the year, hh for the 1-12 hour, mm for minutes and A for AM/PM. See moment(String, String) docs.

Here is a working live sample:

console.log( moment('Mon 03-Jul-2017, 11:00 AM', 'ddd DD-MMM-YYYY, hh:mm A').format('hh:mm A') );_x000D_
console.log( moment('Mon 03-Jul-2017, 11:00 PM', 'ddd DD-MMM-YYYY, hh:mm A').format('hh:mm A') );
