Answer 1

I'm not sure what that format it, but this will give you each number:

var results = "010-10-25T23:25:55.847Z".match(/\d+\.{0,1}\d+/g);
var year = results[0]; // maybe ?
var month = results[1];
var day = results[2];
var etc...;
new Date(year, --month, day, hour, minutes, seconds);

or if it's kinda like UTC,

new Date(Date.UTC.apply(this, "010-10-25T23:25:55.847Z".match(/\d+\.{0,1}\d+/g)))
