Hi List,
I just know it must be there but I can't see it. How can I get to
the NSTimeZone for a given NSDate. When using -description: the date
got a time zone, so it's stored in there but how on earth can I get
to it? I only need the GMT offset (numerically, not as string), in
case there's a simpler way to obtain this.
All NSDate objects are stored as seconds since the reference date (Jan
1 1970 00:00 GMT) and so are always GMT. The description is using the
default time zone to adjust the date. You can get the default time
zone with [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone] and then you can get the offset
with -(NSTimeInterval)secondsFromGMT.
HTH, Jason
