Question

I take date into string. date format is like this and string is

datenotification=20-02-2012

Now I want to change this into

20-feb-2012

but for checking purposes I just place that into a dateformatter and print that but it shows me an incorrect date

NSDateFormatter* currentdateformate = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[currentdateformate setDateFormat:@"dd-MM-YYYY"];
NSDate *d=[currentdateformate dateFromString:dateNotification];
NSString *str3=[currentdateformate stringFromDate:d];
[currentdateformate release];

Hey Check this example

 NSString *string = @"12-02-2000";
 NSDateFormatter* currentdateformate = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
 [currentdateformate setDateFormat:@"dd-MM-yyyy"];
 NSDate *d=[currentdateformate dateFromString:string];
 [currentdateformate setDateFormat:@"dd-MMM-yyyy"];
 NSString *str3=[currentdateformate stringFromDate:d];
 [currentdateformate release];
 NSLog(@"S %@",str3);

output S 12-feb-2012
