Urgent: Get Current Time

[ilx.mac]

Hi there,

I need to get the current time in the format HH:MM:SS AM/PM. I have the date in textfield1.text. I tried using NDDate. But could not get the expected.
Can some one help me ?


Thanks in Advance!:)

Take a look at the NSDate method:- (NSString *)descriptionWithCalendarFormat:(NSString *)formatString timeZone:(NSTimeZone *)aTimeZone locale:(id)localeDictionary and read through Converting Dates to Strings (http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/DatesAndTimes/Articles/dtDatesToStrings.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000187)

Unfortunately it appears that method isn't available on the iPhone (at least from a quick glance at the documentation).

I think the recommended route is to use NSCalendar with NSDateComponents, or NSDateFormatter.

Oops, had the wrong documentation pulled up. Since that method isn't available, it looks like Kainjow's suggestion is the best way to go.
