NSDate formatter

I try to convert a string to NSDATE with no luck unfortunately.

Friday, October 22, 11:26:45 ET 2010

I know the options for formatting (http://sree.cc/objective-c/nsdate-format-string-in-objective-c) but i cant get it to work.

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"???????"];

anyone?

Date Format Specifiers.

So you'd probably need something like:

[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"eeee, MMMM dd, HH:mm:ss z yyyy"];
  • eeee - Local day of week spelled out
  • MMMM - Month spelled out
  • dd - day of month with no leading zeros
  • HH - hour of day (24 hour format)
  • mm - minutes of hour (with leading zero)
  • ss - seconds of minute (with leading zero)
  • z - timezone (short wall time)
  • yyyy - calendar year
