How-To: Convert a string to NSDate

In Objective-C, you commonly nead to convert a string to an NSDate object. A simple way to do this is using the NSDateFormatter object. It provides the dateFromString method which converts a string into an NSDate object. You do, however, need to tell NSDateFormatter the format the date will be in. See below example:

NSDateFormatter *df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[df setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss a"];
NSDate *myDate = [df dateFromString: myDateAsAStringValue];

And read about EDT – Eastern Daylight Time I think it would be better you change EDT to -0004.
