Question

I am trying to convert my date from NSString to NSDate using following code

NSDateFormatter *dateformatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
[dateformatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterShortStyle];
[dateformatter setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterNoStyle];
[dateformatter setDateFormat:@"dd/MM/yyyy"];
NSDate *myDate = [[NSDate alloc] init];

currMonth = 3;
currYear = 2012;
NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"01/%2d/%d", currMonth, currYear];
str = [str stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@"0"];
myDate = [dateformatter dateFromString:str];
NSLog(@"myStr: %@",str);
NSLog(@"myMonth: %2d",currMonth);
NSLog(@"myYear: %d",currYear);
NSLog(@"myDate: %@",myDate);

Above code is giving me wrong date. Can anyone please help?

Answer 1

What is your output? Keep in mind, that NSDate is in UTC.

2012-03-01 00:00:00 (GMT+1) is 2012-02-39 23:00:00 (UTC)

Another tip:

%02 formats your integers with leading zeros.
