I have a date as a string in the format: 2010-12-31 20:21:00 +0200 What

  • 0

I have a date as a string in the format:

2010-12-31 20:21:00 +0200

What I’d like to do is parse this using NSDateFormatter to an NSDate object but I’m having difficulty matching the format properly.

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter.alloc.init;
[dateFormatter setTimeZone: NSTimeZone.localTimeZone];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat: @"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss'Z'"];
[dateFormatter dateFromString: @"2010-12-31 20:21:00 +0200"] // returns nil ;

Can anybody help me find the correct format? thanks

    This code works:

      NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter.alloc.init;
  [dateFormatter setTimeZone:NSTimeZone.localTimeZone];
  [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z"];
  NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:@"2010-12-31 20:21:00 +0200"];
  NSLog(@"%@", [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date]);

    And I just want you to know, kind sir, that my eyes bleed when I see this NSDateFormatter.alloc.init
