iPhone SDK NSString To NSDate
- by disp
I got a string from parsing a XML file which looks like this: Fri, 09 Apr 2010 00:00:45 +0200
and the corresponding pattern should be this "EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss ZZ", but I get (null).
This is my code:
NSString *dateString = @"Fri, 09 Apr 2010 00:00:45 +0200";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss ZZ"];
NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:dateString];
NSLog(@"date:%@",date); // result date:(null)
Edit:
This works for me now, I had to switch to en-US locale:
NSLocale* usLocale = [[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"en-US"];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setLocale:usLocale];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss ZZ"];
NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:dateString];
