Question

I am converting date from NSString to NSDate using following code

NSString *dateString = @"julho-29-2012 05:01 PM";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss a"];
NSDate* dateFromString = [dateFormatter dateFromString:dateString];
NSLog(@"%@",dateFromString);
[dateFormatter release];

But it not working for me 🙁

Answer 1

Your date format string doesn’t match the date format in the string.

Try:

[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MMMM-dd-yyyy hh:mm a"];
[dateFormatter setLocale:[[NSLocale alloc]initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"pt"]];

Setting the locale should only be needed if your phone is not in Portuguese already.
