convert string to date and write back into NSMutableArray
- by padatronic
I have a NSMutableArray I get by loading a plist into it. The date field comes in as a string and i want to change it into a nsdate. I can change an nsstring into an nsdate.
My array is an array of objects like the one below;
{
Date = "1/1/2009"
Description = "Have you ever looked at a badger and thought i wonder how far you could fire that out of a cannon? Well this talk is for you";
File = "http://www.badgerCannon.org.uk/mp3/070310pm.mp3";
Series = "The Badger planet";
Speaker = "Will Ferell";
Title = "Is it a bird, is it a plane? no its a badger";
}
I loop through and pull out the date and convert it from a NSString to a NSDate.
I try writing it back in using the code;
[[self.MediaDataArray objectAtIndex:i] replaceObjectAtIndex:0 withObject:Date];
but it errors and i am pretty sure it is because i am not putting it back into the array in the same format, ie just as a date not as date = "date". But lets face it i don't really know!
Am i barking up the wrong tree? Please help, i have got the coding equivalent of writters block, or alternatively am just being really stupid! thanks in advance
