如何将NSDate格式化为NSString？

Question

I have an date string which looks like this:

2011-10-01 08:45:34 +0000

How can I format it with NSDate? Thanks :D

Answer 1

you can try this method in NSDateFormatter

- (NSDate *)dateFromString:(NSString *)string

an example

dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];

NSLocale *en_US = [[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"en_US"];
[dateFormatter setLocale:en_US];
[en_US release];

[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy h:mm:ss a"];
[dateFormatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneForSecondsFromGMT:-60*60*7]];
NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:dateString];

[dateFormatter release];
