Obj-c, whats the least lines of code to get the current date without hour, minutes, seconds and millseconds?

I want to produce a date without hours, minutes, seconds or mill开发者_StackOverflow社区iseconds.

I've tried [NSDate date] but that adds them.

Hows can I do this ?

Something like...

NSLog(@"%@", [[NSDate date]
    descriptionWithCalendarFormat:@"%Y-%m-%d" timeZone:nil
    locale:[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] dictionaryRepresentation]]);

...should do the trick on Mac OS X.

Try:

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];

[dateFormatter setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterNoStyle];
[dateFormatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterMediumStyle];

NSDate *date = [NSDate date];

NSLog(@"%@", [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date]);

[dateFormatter release];

Adjust the date style to suit.

Or, as suggested, use setDateFormat; something like:

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];

[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-mm-dd"];

NSDate *date = [NSDate date];

NSLog(@"%@", [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date]);

[dateFormatter release];
