How can I convert NSDateFormatted string Apr 18, 2014 10:34:19 AM
to 2014-04-18T17:34:19
? I have tried the below but it returns a nil
NSDate
pointer. Can anyone here please help me out. Thanks.
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init]; [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss"]; NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:@"Apr 18, 2014 10:34:19 AM"]; // Error nil NSLog(@"date: %@", date);
You need to use 2 date formatters, one for parsing the other for displaying:
NSDateFormatter *parsingFormatter = [NSDateFormatter new]; [parsingFormatter setDateFormat:@"MMM dd, yyyy hh:mm:ss a"]; NSDate *date = [parsingFormatter dateFromString:@"Apr 18, 2014 10:34:19 AM"]; NSLog(@"date: %@", date); NSDateFormatter *displayingFormatter = [NSDateFormatter new]; [displayingFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss"]; NSString *display = [displayingFormatter stringFromDate:date]; NSLog(@"display: %@", display); // 2014-04-18T17:34:19
