Question

I am trying to produce a date from a string with the following:

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MMMM dd, yyyy HH:mm:ss"];
NSLog(@"ENDINGDATE: %@", [closure objectForKey:@"ENDINGDATE"]);
NSDate *tempDate = [dateFormatter dateFromString:[closure objectForKey:@"ENDINGDATE"]];

The ENDINGDATE NSLog produces the following:

ENDINGDATE: April, 21 2011 20:00:00

Everything seems to be fine, so I am stumped as to why tempDate is being set to nil. Any ideas? Thanks!

Answer 1

The , is misplaced. It should be after MMMM. So the format should have defined as MMMM, dd yyyy HH:mm:ss.

[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MMMM, dd yyyy HH:mm:ss"];
