-- NSDateFormatter is your friend. =)
You use it like this: NSDateFormatter * f = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [f setDateFormat:@"YYYY-mm-dd"]; NSLog([f stringFromDate:aDate]); [f release]; There's also a really handy "dateFromString" method that will parse a string according to the format string you specify. This page has lots of good info on what the formatting specifiers are: http://unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-4.html#Date_Format_Patterns HTH, Dave -- @Dave DeLong Sorry, didn't get your previous message. I think something may be wrong with my email account. ;) In any event, here is my current code: NSCalendarDate *date = [NSCalendarDate calendarDate]; NSString *dateString = [date descriptionWithCalendarFormat:@"%Y-%m%d"]; Now I am wondering how I can take that special formatted string and save it back into NSCalendarDate or NSDate (knowing how it was formatted). I looked up some information regarding dateFromString but it returns null when I pass it my string. Though I could be doing something wrong regarding dateFromString.
