Hi,
Say I have a date coming in as input to a framework method that looks
like this:Thu Oct 16 11:38:11 2003
I know that the date is in the GMT timezone. I need to convert the
string to an NSCalendarDate (I think) and be able to return it in the
same format. I've tried doing this to get the date initialized:
NSString *dateStringForGMT = [myDateString stringByAppendingString:@"
GMT"];
NSCalendarDate *newDate = [NSCalendarDate
dateWithString:dateStringForGMT calendarFormat:@"%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y
%Z"];
which seems to work fine when creating the date. But is there some
magic to getting it to return the original string format when calling
-description but still retaining its proper time?
Thanks, J.
