Question

   dateFormatter.locale = [[[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@\"en_US\"] autorelease];
   [d         


        

Answer 1

The problem that I found is that the string that I was parsing has some trailing characters "\n\t\t". The solution was to remove them:

[string stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];
