How to get future dates using NSDateComponents?

How to get a few future dates with Wednesdays and Fridays using NSDateComponents?

This is actually a bit of a tricky problem if you want it to be totally bullet-proof. Here's how I would do it:

NSInteger wednesday = 4; // Wed is the 4th day of the week (Sunday is 1)
NSInteger friday = 6;

NSDate *start = ...; // your starting date
NSDateComponents *components = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
NSCalendar *gregorian = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];

for (int i = 0; i < 100; ++i) {
  [components setDay:i];
  NSDate *target = [gregorian dateByAddingComponents:components toDate:start options:0];
  NSDateComponents *targetComponents = [gregorian components:NSUIntegerMax fromDate:target];
  if ([targetComponents weekday] == wednesday || [targetComponents weekday] == friday) {
    NSLog(@"found wed/fri on %d-%d-%d", [targetComponents month], [targetComponents day], [targetComponents year]);
  }
}

[gregorian release];
[components release];
