So, quick question (searched a lot in Google, but only found the answer which produces same response as below): 

code:

```
var teste = '10/12/2017';
console.log(teste); //returns 10/12/2017
var teste_cut = teste.substr(6,2);
console.log(teste_cut); //returns only 20

```

What I want is `10/12/17`. I can't change how the string is created, so I need to change it after getting said string. Does a method for doing this exist, or should I work around with other functions? I'm feeling stupid right now, since it seens to be a fairly obvious answer, but I guess we all get our stupid moments :P
