Answer 1

function myFunction() {
    var str = "Teen.Wolf.Orphaned.28.07.2014.HDTV";
    var res = str.split(".");


    var text = "";
    var x;
    for (x in res) {
        if (!isNaN(res[x])) {
            text += res[x];
            if (text.length == 2) { text += ','} 
            else if (text.length == 5) { text += ',' } 
        }
    }

    document.write(text);
}

This will write "28,07,2014"

NOTE: only use this way if the strings will always be in a format similar to the ones you posted above.
