Formatting date and time with iPhone SDK?

Question

How do I format date and time using iPhone SDK?

For example, how would I extract the date from 9/4/2024 12:00:00 AM to NSDate?

Answer 1

you can format your string using dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss a

example as below:

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss a"];
NSLog(@"%@", [dateFormatter dateFromString:@"12/12/2012 12:12:12 AM"]);
