NSDate - Changing the year value

I need to change a NSDate object. What I am basically doing is changing the year value.

for example:

NSString *someYear = @"2093";
    NSDate *date = [NSDate date]; // Gets the current date.
    ... Create a new date based upon 'date' but with specified year value.

So with 'date' returning 2011-03-06 22:17:50 +0000 from init, I would like to create a date with 2093-03-06 22:17:50 +0000.

However I would like this to be as culturally neutral as possible, so it will work whatever the timezone.

Thanks.

Solution

  • Take a look at NSCalendar, especially components:fromDate: and dateFromComponents: methods.
