"2013-08-22 00:00:00";
How i can i remove the timestamp from this? "00:00:00";
Thanks.

Does it always remain **"00:00:00"** or it changes? – Ahmed Z. Aug 20 '13 at 12:15

substringWithRange: sounds good. Show us what you tried. – Martin R Aug 20 '13 at 12:16

newStr = [str substringToIndex:[str length]-8]; – Cliffordwh Aug 20 '13 at 12:17

Look at the NSDate and NSDateFormatter class references. – ahmedalkaff Aug 20 '13 at 12:19

So what happened when you tried substringWithRange?? Not as simple as substringToIndex, but it should have worked. – Hot Licks Aug 20 '13 at 12:25

If the date format in the string will remain same, then you can split the string based on the space in between.
Code to do that is:
NSString *date = @"2013-08-22 00:00:00";
NSArray *split = [date componentsSeparatedByString:@" "];
//split[0] => Date part
//split[1] => Time part
This is a quick fix.
Hope that helps!
