Hi,
you should get the current date/time this way:
NSCalendarDate *nowDateTime = [NSCalendarDate calendarDate];
then you can transform "nowDateTime" to a simple NSString this way:
NSString *fullDateTimeString = [nowDateTime description];
but probably you need to customize the date/time string by yourself.
If so, you can get a custom date/time string this way:
NSString *dateFormat = @"Now is: %A, %B %d, %Y - %H:%M:%S";
NSString *customDateTimeString = [nowDateTime
descriptionWithCalendarFormat:dateFormat];
And you will get somethisng like:
@"Now is: Monday, May 24, 2004 - 08:35:59"
In "dateFormat" you can write whatever before and after any parameter.
For example:
the parameter %Y means: year with century (such as 2004)
the parameter %d means: the day of the month as a decimal number (01-31)
so if you define the variable dateFormat as
@"The current year is %Y";
you will get the string
@"The current year is 2004"
All the specifiers descriptions for the date format are on your disk at:

eFormatters.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000194/CJBFEHBD
