remove time from a date like this 2016-02-10 00:00:00

hello I have a date like this 

2016-02-10 00:00:00

I want to get only date from it in this style

14.05.2016 or 14-05-2016

This is what I have tried

let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
let date = "2016-02-10 00:00:00"
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd-MM-yyyy"
let newdate = dateFormatter.dateFromString(date)
print(newdate) //nil is coming
Solution

  • okay I solved this myself

      let date = "2016-02-10 00:00:00"
  let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()

  dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss"
  let dateFromString : NSDate = dateFormatter.dateFromString(date)!
  dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd-MM-yyyy"
  let datenew= dateFormatter.stringFromDate(dateFromString)

    print(datenew)
