Question

I’m trying to convert a nsstring to nsdate and I am getting a weird behavior.

I try to convert these dates:

2012-11-14 13:35:05

2012-11-14 13:33:53

2012-10-22 12:56:27

2012-10-22 12:56:23

and more…

with this code:

NSString *createdString = [conversationFromServer objectForKey:@"created"];
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss"];
NSTimeZone *gmt = [NSTimeZone timeZoneWithAbbreviation:@"GMT"];
[formatter setTimeZone:gmt];
NSDate *created = [formatter dateFromString:createdString];

As you can see, the dates have the same pattern, but I can’t convert the first and the second date. If I log the results, all of them in string are correct, but in nsdate the first and the second ones is nil.

Any solution? Thanks in advance

Use HH in uppercase:

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