Substring problem

I have a string representing a date and time formatted as '01/02/2024/14:00'. My current approach encounters an issue where only the numbers before the first '/' are considered when using .unique, leading to incomplete data extraction. I'm exploring alternatives, such as using substring, but I haven't found a solution yet. Ideally, incorporating this into a .filter option would be beneficial for my needs. How can I accurately split this string into its constituent parts, such as day, month, year, and time, to work with each segment individually?

to do arbitrarily complex filters you can do the filter in javascript

// define a function dateLessThan that does all the string parsing you want.
// then in your query do this
for await (const reservation of ctx.db.query("messages")) {
  if (dateLessThan(reservation.arrivalDate, args.day) && dateLessThan(args.day, reservation.departureDate) && reservation.roomNumber === args.room) {
    return reservation;
  }
}
return null;
