title: How do I format this date string so that google scripts recognizes it?
body: <p>I'm getting a json feed with a date string formatted like the following:</p>
  
  <p>//2012-08-03T23:00:26-05:00</p>
  
  <p>I had thought I could just pass this into a new Date as such</p>
  
  <pre><code>var dt = new Date("2012-08-03T23:00:26-05:00");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works on jsfiddle but not in google scripts.  It's returning an invalid date.  After reading <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6683872/why-does-my-date-object-in-google-apps-script-return-nan">this post</a> I recognize it may be how GAS interprets the date string so now I'm not sure how to reformat the date to make it work.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a best way to reformat that date string so GAS can recognize it as a date?  </p>
