Using Nick's tutorial and answer the solution is : NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter alloc init; dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd.MM. Yyyy"; NSDate *date = dateFormatter dateFromString:@"01.02.1989"; NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter1 = NSDateFormatter alloc init; // Convert my date object into yyyy-mm-dd string object dateFormatter1 setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd"; NSString *formattedStringDate = dateFormatter1 stringFromDate:date; dateFormatter release; dateFormatter1 release; NSLog(formattedStringDate); objektObrat. DateOfObrat = NSString alloc initWithString:formattedStringDate.

Great you found a solution to the problem & pleased to have helped! Good luck with the rest of your app. N – Nick Cartwright Feb 2 at 10:28.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
