Question

I tried this:

NSDateFormatter *df= [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];

[df setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:MM:SS"];

NSDate *dt2 = [df dateFromString:@"2011-11-23 09:44:12"];

But when I do:

NSLog(@"dt2 is %@", dt2);

it returns null.Any idea why?

Answer 1

Try this code:

NSDateFormatter *df= [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];

[df setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"];

NSDate *dt2 = [df dateFromString:@"2011-11-23 09:44:12"];

NSLog(@"dt2 is %@", dt2);

Here in HH:mm:ss, you had used MM for minutes instead of mm and SS for seconds in place of ss. That was the mistake you committed

Hope this helps you.
