iPhone: How to convert “yyyyMMddThhmmss” format string to NSDate?

Question

I have a string like \"20121124T103000\" and I want to convert this to NSDate.

I tried converting it with dateFormatter date format \"

Answer 1

Your original code is quite close; instead of:

@"yyyyMMddThhmmss"

You should be using:

@"yyyyMMdd'T'hhmmss"

The only difference is the pair of single quotes around the 'T' in the string- you just need to let the app know that 'T' is a part of the formatting, not the actual date.
