Question

I have a string 2013-01-10T08:24:12.503 which is ‘date’ and ‘time’.This is the format that I receive from my server.

I want to display this in the format 2013-01-10 08:24:12.
How can I do this?

Please help me out.

Answer 1

You need to esacpe the T string

NSString *string = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"2013-01-10T08:24:12.503"];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS"];

Using above format get normal NSDate

NSDate *formattedDate = [dateFormatter dateFromString:string];   // 2013-01-10 02:54:12 +0000

Again set the format you want

[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"];

Get the String you want,

NSString *curDate = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date];    // 2013-01-10 08:24:12
