You could use something like this to get the day of the week as a number;

NSArray *dayNames = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"Monday",@"Tuesday",@"Wednesday",@"Thursday",@"Friday",@"Saturday",@"Sunday",nil]; NSString *stringToFind = @"Thursday"; NSInteger dayOfWeek = [dayNames indexOfObject:stringToFind]; [dateComponent setWeekday:dayOfWeek];

Hope this helps.

I'm not sure I can at the moment. I think I've answered the part of your question that asked "how i can convert the days of week to integer and passed to dateComponent", but I'm not sure what else you need to know. Could you edit your question to be clearer?

So, to finish off for Problem 1 - I've answered that. If you want to set the day/weekday component, you have to provide an integer, so you need to convert your string, for example "Monday" to an integer using a method similar to what I have detailed in my answer above. For Problem 2, you will need to take your NSString, convert to a a NSDate, then you can extract the NSDateComponents and then set however you want, but each component has to be set separately, you can't set multiple components in one go, as far as I am aware. There is tons of stuff on NSDate conversion etc on SO so have a look.
