I'm trying to parse a string that was generated by an NSDateFormatter using another NSDateFormatter with the same format. Rather than trying to make that previous sentence make sense, here's some code: NSDateFormatter *format = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [format setDateFormat:@"MMM dd, YYYY HH:mm"]; NSDate *now = [[NSDate alloc] ...
I am sure I am just missing something. But I have googled this for days trying to find how to show a 4 digit year when displaying an NSDate with a style of NSDateFormatterShortStyle. Please let me know if you have a solution. Here is the code I am using now. [NSDateFormatter setDefaultFormatterBehavior:NSDateFormatterBehavior10_4]; ...
Hi I am trying to convert a string to date in a separate time zone from the current system time zone. I have set the time zone of the dateformatter to this timezone. But the NSDate I get is always in my current time zone. For instance, my current time zone is PDT. I have set the DateFormatter's time zone to CST. I have a string with th...
searched for answers, but the one's i found didn't seem to be ipone specific. I basically need to get current date and time separately, formatted as: 2009-04-26 11:06:54 edit: The code below, from another question on the same topic, generates now: |2009-06-01 23:18:23 +0100| dateString: |Jun 01, 2009 23:18| parsed: ...
Hi This is a slightly tricky question. I am using NSDateFormatter on the iPhone but I wanted to only show a standard date without the years component. But retain the users locale formatting for their date. I could easily override the formatting using [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"h:mma EEEE MMMM d"]; // hurl.ws/43p9 (date formattin...
When I run my iPhone app with Instruments Leaks and parse a bunch of NSDates using NSDateFormatter my memory goes up about 1mb and stays even though these NSDates should be dealloc'd after the parsing (I just discard them if they aren't new). I thought the malloc (in my heaviest stack trace below) could become part of the NSDate but I a...
I have a Date format: 2009-08-10T16:03:03Z that I want to convert to: @"MMM dd, HH:mm a" I retrieve the xml format in an NSString. I tried to use the NSDateformatter: NSDateFormatter *df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [df setDateFormat:@"MMM dd, HH:mm a"]; any ideas? ...
Writing an iPhone app in Objective-C, I have a date in string form (in UTC format, with a Z on the end to denote zero UTC offset, or zulu time), which I need to parse into an NSDate object. A bit of code: NSDateFormatter* df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init]; [df setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ"]; NSString* str = @"2009-08-11T06...
What setDateFormat option for NSDateFormatter do I use to get a month-day's ordinal suffix? e.g. the snippet below currently produces: 3:11 PM Saturday August 15 What must I change to get: 3:11 PM Saturday August 15**th** NSDate *date = [NSDate date]; NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease]; [date...

I have a 10.4 style date formatter applied to an NSTextFieldCell. I call setTwoDigitStartDate: (tried with both the epoch date and the "reference" date) but when I type in a date with a two digit year it sets the year to 0009 instead of 2009. Header: IBOutlet NSTextFieldCell *transactionDateField; // outlet *IS* set correctly in IB I...
In the Apple Docs, they say that NSDateFormatter uses the Unicode for spec. I've read the spec, but I'm having troubles interpreting this date: NSDateFormatter *frm = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [frm setDateFormat:@"EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss ZZZ yyyy"]; NSLog(@"Tue Oct 13 09:24:15 +0000 2009 becomes %@", [frm dateFromString:@"Tue Oct 13 ...

Here is the code that converts the string in the NSDate. NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFor...
I have a novice question, will be happy if any one out there can help me. I have an NSMutableArray, for example: { JobID = 109302930; Subject = "Test Subject"; SubmitDate = "2009-09-15 17:27:34"; } I am now trying to create sections in my table view and want to group my records based on "formatted" SubmitDate. For example; 16th May'...
The following code: NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease]; [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MM/dd"]; NSDate *newTime = [dateFormatter dateFromString:@"10/01"]; sets the resulting date to 10/01/1970. Is there a "right" way to have the formatter assume that you mean a date in the current year, or c...

Hi, I am using NSDateFormatter, the problem is with its consistency. If I use the kCFDateFormatterMediumStyle it gives the format as "Nov 26, 2009" in simulator but on device it gives "26-Nov-2009". Now I have the question, Is this NSFormatter trustable means in near future or updates from apple can it change the style again? ...

I am playing around with the coredatabooks source code example from the apple website, or here. I am trying to set the books copyright date attribute value to replace the author as the tableview section header, and I need the date value to be static, meaning I don't need the time, otherwise all of the date values are different, and no tw...
I'm using a NSDateFormatter to parse a RFC 822 date on the iPhone. However, there is no way to specify optional elements in the date format. There are a couple of optional parts in the RFC 822 specification which is breaking the date parser. If nothing works out, I'd probably have to write a custom parser to obey the specs. For example,...
