Question

When emailing a PDF from my app, im using the following to get the file title

NSString *date = [[NSDate date] description];
NSString *fileName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@.pdf", self.certificate.certificateType.title, date];

It gives me a filename of:

myfilename.pdf 2012-11-25 21:35:45 + 0000

Is there way I can get rid of the +0000?

Answer 1

You usually want to aviod using spaces in your filenames.

NSDate *date = [NSDate date];
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
formatter.dateFormat = @"yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss";
NSString *dateString = [formatter stringFromDate:date];
NSString *fileName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@_%@.pdf", self.certificate.certificateType.title, dateString];
