Question

im using a string to convert it to an nsDate

is working fine,
but when i try to add time to my string I get null on the logs

NSString *dateStringus = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"12-09-2011"];
NSLog(@"%@",dateStringus);

NSDateFormatter *dateFormattero = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];

[dateFormattero setDateFormat:@"dd-MM-yyyy"];

NSDate* d = [dateFormattero dateFromString:dateStringus];
NSLog(@"tomad tu string date ::%@",d);    

NSString *pingus = [dateFormattero stringFromDate:d];

NSLog(@"transumatada ::%@", pingus);

NSLog(@"\n");

Works fine for only date,
but

if I do

NSString *dateStringus = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"12-09-2011 14:14:00"];

I get null on the logs

how to fix this string to include time? thanks!

Answer 1

The dateFormat property of the NSDateFormatter dateFormattero must match the format of date/time in the string dateStringus.

Change:

[dateFormattero setDateFormat:@"dd-MM-yyyy"];

Into:

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

Here is a good reference on date format patterns.
