I have a strange problem with parsing date string. I have a date formatter with format:

yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSSSSZZ

and date string:

2012-11-09 10:47:01.999804+01

dateFromString method returns nil, but when I change date string to ie:

2012-11-09 10:47:01.989804+01

it works… Does anyone has idea why there is such limit for microseconds value and how can I properly parse dates like the one above?

I could parse that with regex and cut whole SSSSSS part, but generally sometimes I will need to compare dates so they would not be matching and it will cause more problems.

    I have finally resolved that issue.

    I’m modifying date format and date string to remove microseconds so I can parse date properly. Then I just add microseconds parsed from original date string.
