nsdate

My code , -(NSString *)trimDateStringInRequiredFormat:(NSString *)dateInString{ NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss"]; NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:dateInString]; [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"hh:mm aaa"]; NSString *dateDisplay = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date]; return dateDisplay; } The above worked properly when my date is 2012-06-06 12:00:00 and I got appropriate output like 12:00 AM. But when I send my date like 2012-06-06 15:00:00 it doesn't return me appropriate output, instead, it

I have a sqlite3 Database with a DATETIME column containing values formatted like this: 2013-01-09 04:00:00 I'm trying to figure out how to determine if times are AM or PM? Here's how I read and convert the DATETIME objects from my Sqlite3 DB using Objective-C: NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [dateFormat setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss"]; char *DateTimeColumn = (char *)sqlite3_column_text(statement, 13); NSDate *myDate =[dateFormat dateFromString:[NSString stringWithUTF8String:DateTimeColumn]]; This works really well except it doesn't figure out whether this

This is what I am trying for getting date from the string 2016-10-20T13:01:47.317 but getting nil NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter1 = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; dateString = [dateString substringToIndex:dateString.length - 3]; [dateFormatter1 setDateFormat:@"YYYY-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss"]; NSDate *date = [dateFormatter1 dateFromString:dateString]; Also tried with yyyy but still getting nil. I was not able to understand .317 so I eliminated that from the string. What shall be the date format for this ? it .317 means milliseconds use SSS NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter1 = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]

I have an NSDictionary with the value for date as: "Date":"/Date(1314313200000+0100)/", How can I turn this into an NSDate as it contains strings lie "Date": and / ? 1314313200000 is milliseconds since the epoch-date (1970-01-01), and 0100 is the timezone. You need to parse this info out from the string and build a date from it. The NSScanner class is a good fit for parsing information out of strangely formatted text. // Init a scanner with your date string NSScanner* scanner = [NSScanner scannerWithString:@"Date:/Date(1314313200000+0100)/"]; // Skip everything up to a valid numeric character
