I think that's going too far — you can use NSDateFormatter for this, as long as you reset the calendar and locale: formatter.calendar = [[[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar] autorelease]; formatter.locale = [[[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"en_US"] autorelease]; (I'm not sure whether [NSLocale systemLocale] would work as well; I'm copying this from some working code of mine that generates ISO-8601 date strings.) —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
