  1. You could use -[NSString componentsSeparatedByString:] or NSScanner to split the string, or use NSCalendar to extract the pieces of the date you're interested in.

  2. If you can format date into specific format using NSDateFormatter and then convert NSDate into NSString. You can extract components from date string using componentsSeparatedByString.

    NSDate *myDate = datePicker.date;//if you are getting date from date picker

    NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [dateFormat setDateFormat:@"cccc, MMM d, hh:mm aa"];//you can use any date format also
    NSString *myDateString = [dateFormat stringFromDate:myDate];


    You can get array of string by using this method and you can use string tokenizer according to your dateformat.for example "," string tokenizer.

    [myDateString componentsSeparatedByString:@","];

  3. Use something like [yourString componentsSeparatedByString:@"/"]. You will get an NSArray of separated strings.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
