Fix your formatting string. You are using "mm" for month, but "mm" means minutes with leading zero. Use "MM" for month. Also, if you really want to present minutes and seconds without leading zeros as in your question, use only single "m" and "s":

QString str = tempDateTime.toString("dd/MM/yyyy h:m:s AP"));

Probably using the functions

  • QDateTime::fromString
  • QDateTime::toString

But try to use the ISO based timeformat if you can, this kind of odd formating with both weekday and monthday information can become quite funny if it is not a valid date.

The normal example could look like (using iso format):

QDateTime myTime;
qDebug() << myTime.fromString("2010-01-01 17:00", "yyyy'-'MM'-'dd' 'hh':'mm").toString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");

I tried to use your input format in the fromString, but the results was a little bit strange. So maybe you need to use some classic string manipulation to create a valid date string with some regexps before you can start to work with your date.

/Good luck
