Question

Helo,
I’m trying the bunch of code and it is giving null. Is there any problem in this code?

    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    // get NSDate from old string format
    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"mmddyyy"];
    NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:@"02012002"];
    NSLog(@"%@",date);
    // get string in new date format
    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd-MMM-yyyy"];
    NSString *strMyDate= [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date];
    NSLog(@"%@\n\n********************************************************",strMyDate);

the output is

2011-06-09 12:49:17.957 TestPrj[3054:207] (null)
2011-06-09 12:49:17.959 TestPrj[3054:207] (null)

You r missing one ‘y’ there in second line-
it either should be –

dateFormatter
setDateFormat:@”mmddyyyy”];

or dateFormatter
setDateFormat:@”MMddyyyy”];
