Please note that substringToIndex does only sometimes return a valid string.
I just tried:
NSS
Here's one way to accomplish your stated goal:
-- BEGIN CODE --
#import
int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
// NSDateFormatter, locale friendly
NSDateFormatter *df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[df setDateSt
Alex,
Uli is giving very helpful recommendations here.
The leave-the-first-character logic doesn't work for Korean and Japanese,
either.
They happen to spell AM/PM like MA/MP as Quincey warned.
If you have specific target locales in mind, I recommend providing a set of
formatting configuratio

I actually attended that session - so thanks for reminding me about it. I
should add I have worked with unicode, asian languages, etc.. on other
platforms for many years and am aware of the complexities (though I've been
working on the Mac since 1992 and Cocoa since 2007). Its not so much

Right, our goal is not to make this a universal solution. Just one for the
languages we know and support. Thanks. Appreciate the help.

Right - some don't. We do take care of those situations. But many do and its
nice to get that from OS itself.

Yes, we already take care of the 24 hour situation. This is explicitly for
people who are showing their times using AM/PM. Not that its an iron-clad thing
either, but we've been doing calendaring for over 10 years now so I'm aware of
the date/time notation by country. But again this is explicitl

I'm fairly certain my problem here is that I wasn't thinking about unicode
terms here.
What we are trying to do:
Shorten the AM/PM to just the first character in Western Languages so that a
time is shown as "1:30a".
NSDateFormatter* formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
