    NSLog(@"%@", [dateFormatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]]);

output=

Saturday

does anyone know how to create date like above and convert it to nsstring?

Answer 1

Do you want to show that string to the user? If so set the dateStyle because you want a locale aware string.

NSDateFormatter *df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[df setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterFullStyle];
NSLog(@"%@", [df stringFromDate:[NSDate date]]);

Users that use the US locale will get Saturday, November 24, 2012.
And german users will get Samstag, 24. November 2012.
