Swift date formatting

Question

I\'m trying to pull a date string from a button and format is as a date to be store in CoreData.

Here is my code:

let dateStr = setDateBTN.titleLabe

NSDateFormatter Class Reference : http://goo.gl/7fp9gl

Date Formatting Guide (Apple) : http://goo.gl/8zRTQl

A common mistake is to use YYYY. yyyy specifies the calendar year whereas YYYY specifies the year (of “Week of Year”), used in the ISO year-week calendar.

Your code should work, as you expect, like this :

let dateStr = setDateBTN.titleLabel?.text
let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "MM-dd-yyyy"
let date:NSDate = dateFormatter.dateFromString(dateStr!)!
