How do I take a date and extract the day in iOS"

Question

I have a webservice that returns the date in this format:

2013-04-14

How do i figure out what day this corresponds to?

Answer 1

If you have 2013-04-14 stored in a NSString called date, then you can do this...

NSArray *dateComponents = [date componentsSeperatedByString:@"-"];
NSString *day = [dateComponents lastObject];
