Comments on: Format String for the iPhone NSDateFormatter http://www.stepcase.com/blog/2008/12/02/format-string-for-the-iphone-nsdateformatter/ The next level in Productivity Wed, 10 Mar 2010 20:36:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: besslialliarm http://www.stepcase.com/blog/2008/12/02/format-string-for-the-iphone-nsdateformatter/comment-page-1/#comment-600 besslialliarm Fri, 05 Mar 2010 10:28:16 +0000 http://www.stepcase.com/?p=60#comment-600 The response to national disaster is great but it's a real shame that so many people take advantage of the negative situations. I mean everytime there is an earthquake, a flood, an oil spill - there's always a group of heartless people who rip off tax payers. This is in response to reading that 4 of Oprah Winfreys "angels" got busted ripping off the system. Shame on them! http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/08/19/crimesider/entry5251471.shtml The response to national disaster is great but it’s a real shame that so many people take advantage of the negative situations.

My guess is that Apple might have updated that page to include the links, as I have referenced that page in my post as well... either that or I have over looked their welly hidden links ^_^. Either way, I still blame Apple for not making it more clear. After taking a look at the Unicode Standard code page, it seems that Apple's implementation still doesn't quite 100% follow the standard. But I guess it's close enough and the minor discrepancies don't among to much. Thanks Benjamin and Adam for the heads up.

They say in the "Data Formatting Programming Guide for Cocoa" that the 10.4-style date formatters, when used in 10.5 and iPhone, use Unicode standard tr35-6 (http://unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-6.html#Date_Format_Patterns) markers. At the bottom of: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/DataFormatting/Articles/dfDateFormatting10_4.html But thanks for the lead, it's not easy to find in the docs. I had to find your page and then full-text search the docs for "EEEE" to find the reference, and then I found it because it was an example! Actually, Apple does document the codes.
