I would set up an array of NSDictionary where each NSDictionary
contained two entries, one that "Exemplified" a particular "template"
and one that contained the format string corresponding to it. You
would simply have to hard code this, and then maybe use it as a
datasource to a combobox or single table column to let the user choose
(you would only show the example, but you would only actually care
about the corresponding format).
If you had a ton of free time you could come up with a creative GUI
that allowed creation of such things.
Best,
Robbie
