How do I convert, NSDate
to NSString
so that only the year in @"yyyy" format is output to the string?
How about...
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy"];
//Optionally for time zone conversions
[formatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithName:@"..."]];
NSString *stringFromDate = [formatter stringFromDate:myNSDateInstance];
//unless ARC is active
[formatter release];
Swift 4.2 :
func stringFromDate(_ date: Date) -> String {
let formatter = DateFormatter()
formatter.dateFormat = "dd MMM yyyy HH:mm" //yyyy
return formatter.string(from: date)
}
