Question

How to find one text field value is within past 60 day excluding current date.

For example if I enter value in text field is 20-July-2012 using Date Picker.Then I click submit,it’ll check that specific is date is within 60 days or not. If the values are entered which is before 60 days an alert message is displayed. The values are retrieved from api.

Answer 1

NSDate *today = [NSDate date];

NSTimeInterval dateTime;
if ([pickerDate isEqualToDate:today])   //pickerDate is a NSDate
{
     NSLog (@"Dates are equal");
}
dateTime = ([pickerDate timeIntervalSinceDate:today] / 86400);  
if(dateTime < 0) //Check if visit date is a past date, dateTime returns - val
{
     NSLog (@"Past Date");
}
else 
{   
     NSLog (@"Future Date");
}

Change the value of 86400 to suit your query.In this case, it is the number of seconds we want to compare.
