How to put a date from strftime in a nsstring in obj-c?

i want to be get a date (the current hour) from strftime and get it into a nsstring 开发者_JAVA技巧in obj-c for the iphone-os

I would recommend using NSDate's descriptionWithCalendarFormat:timeZone:locale:. More documentation about the call can be found here. The API allows you to specify which component from a date you want output to an NSString, which is the return result of the API.

Update: If you really want to use strftime then take the const char*-typed result from that call and convert it to an NSString* by using stringWithUTF8String. More info on that here.
