Question

Like if I am using the code.

 NSDateFormatter *df = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
 [df setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone systemTimeZone]];
 [df setDateFormat:@"dd.MM.yyyy"];
 NSDate *today = [NSDate date];
 NSString *log_date = [df stringFromDate:today];

 //Generate Log Current Time.
 [df setDateFormat:@"hh:mma"];
 NSString *log_currenttime = [[df stringFromDate:today] lowercaseString];

 NSLog(@"Log Date %@",log_date);
 NSLog(@"Log Current Time %@",log_currenttime);

My log shows me :

Log Date 19.12.2011
Log Current Time 03:18pm

At least I can remove the Time Padding.

Answer 1

Change your format from hh:mma to h:mma

//Generate Log Current Time.
[df setDateFormat:@"h:mma"]; // Changed from hh:mma to h:mma
NSString *log_currenttime=[[df stringFromDate:today] lowercaseString];

NSLog(@"Log Current Time %@",log_currenttime);

This will output

Log Current Time 3:18pm
