This should do it, using back references to find sequences of 3+ the same character and then replacing them with just two:

str.replace(/(.)\1{2,}/g, '$1$1')

try to use this

    var date = new Date();
    var datestr = ('0' + date.getDate()).substr(-2, 2) + '/' + ('0' + date.getMonth()).substr(-2, 2) + '/' + ('0' + date.getFullYear()).substr(-2, 2);
    alert(datestr);
