I am getting nil returned for the date variable in the below code. I can't find any problem with the date format, can anyone help?
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setDateFormat:#"EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy"];
NSString *dateString = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"%#", #"Mon Apr 05 04:37:28 UTC 2010"];
NSDate *date = [formatter dateFromString:dateString];
Try
NSDate *date = [formatter dateFromString:#"Mon Apr 05 04:37:28 GMT 2010"];
or
NSDate *date = [formatter dateFromString:#"Mon Apr 05 04:37:28 +0000 2010"];

I have date string like this "11 June, 2019 16:35:21". When I try to convert the string to NSDate it returns nil.
NSString str =#"11 June, 2019 16:35:21";
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setDateFormat: #"dd MMM yyyy"];
NSDate *date = [formatter dateFromString:str];
NSString *string = [[formatter stringFromDate:date] uppercaseString];
Is there any other way to convert it? Or where I'm doing wrong?
use date format as like
NSString str =#"11 June, 2019 16:35:21";
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
NSLocale *locale = [[NSLocale alloc]
initWithLocaleIdentifier:#"en_US_POSIX"];
[formatter setLocale:locale];
// input dateformat #"11 June, 2019 16:35:21";
[formatter setDateFormat: #"dd MMMM, yyyy HH:mm:ss"];
NSDate *date = [formatter dateFromString:str];
// output dateformat for e.g #"11 Jun 2019
[formatter setDateFormat: #"dd MMM yyyy"];
NSString *string = [[formatter stringFromDate:date] uppercaseString];
The NSDateFormatter uses Unicode Technical Standard.
this site has a great documentation:
Date_Format_Patterns
e.g. "11 June, 2019 16:35:21" can be parsed with:
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"dd MMMM, yyyy HH:mm:ss"]
Karthik is right, first, you have to convert date string with #"dd MMMM, yyyy HH:mm:ss" format to NSDate, then convert it to your desired format #"dd MMM yyyy".
Hope so following code'll work.
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
NSLocale *locale = [[NSLocale alloc]
initWithLocaleIdentifier:#"en_US_POSIX"];
[formatter setLocale:locale];
[formatter setDateFormat: #"dd MMMM, yyyy HH:mm:ss"];
NSString *str = #"11 June, 2019 16:35:21";
NSDate *date = [formatter dateFromString:str];
formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setDateFormat: #"dd MMM yyyy"];
NSString *string = [[formatter stringFromDate:date] uppercaseString];
I am getting response from service that
"created_at" = "Thu Jul 06 07:26:23 +0000 2017";
i want to convert the string into Nsdate format
i do not know how to do it
Try this:
NSString *dateString = #"Thu Jul 06 07:26:23 +0000 2017";
NSDate *date =[[NSDate alloc] init];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
dateFormatter.dateFormat = #"EEE MMM dd hh:mm:ss Z yyyy";
date = [ dateFormatter dateFromString:dateString];
Use this code
(source::http://nsdateformatter.com)
NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:#"EEE MMM dd hh:mm:ss Z yyyy"];
NSDate *date = [dateFormat dateFromString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Thu Jul 06 07:26:23 +0000 2017"]];
NSLog(#"date is %# ",date);
NSDateFormatter *f = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[f setDateFormat:#"E MMM d HH:mm:ss Z yyyy"];
NSDate *date = [f dateFromString:#"Thu Jul 06 07:26:23 +0000 2017"];
Try this code:
NSString *dateString = #"2018-07-27 03:08:10";
NSDate *date =[[NSDate alloc] init];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
dateFormatter.dateFormat = #"yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:";
date = [ dateFormatter dateFromString:dateString];
ObjectiveC implemetation
NSString *dateString = #"Thu Jul 06 07:26:23 +0000 2017";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
NSDate *date =[[NSDate alloc] init];
dateFormatter.dateFormat = #"EEE MMM DD hh:mm:ss Z yyyy";
date = [dateFormatter dateFromString: dateString]; //generates date from dateString
Swift implementation goes below
let dateString = "Thu Jul 06 07:26:23 +0000 2017"
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "EEE MMM DD hh:mm:ss Z yyyy"
dateFormatter.date(from: dateString) //"Jan 6, 2017, 12:56 PM"
I've a webservice which gives back my date in the following way.
Wed Oct 31 11:59:44 +0000 2012
But I want it to give it back in this way
31-10-2012 11:59
I know that it should be done with a NSDateFormatter. But I don't now how to implement it in the correct way.
I've something like this.
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"dd/MM/yyyy"];
[dateFormatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithAbbreviation:#"GMT+0:00"]];
NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:[genkInfo objectForKey:DATE]];
Can anybody help me?
Kind regards.
Code at the moment
NSDateFormatter *f = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[f setDateFormat:#"E MMM d hh:mm:ss Z y"];
NSDate *date = [f dateFromString:#"Wed Oct 31 11:59:44 +0000 2012"];
NSDateFormatter *f2 = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[f2 setDateFormat:#"dd-MM-y hh:mm"];
[f2 setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneForSecondsFromGMT:0]];
NSString *date2 = [f2 stringFromDate:date];
Webservice layout
"text": "KRC Genk | Zaterdag is er opnieuw een open stadiontour http://t.co/tSbZ2fYG",
"created_at": "Fri Nov 02 12:49:34 +0000 2012"
Step 1: create an NSDateFormatter to convert your string from server to an NSDate object by setting the format to the format of the "server string"
NSDateFormatter *f = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[f setDateFormat:#"E MMM d hh:mm:ss Z y"];
NSDate *date = [f dateFromString:#"Wed Oct 31 11:59:44 +0000 2012"];
Step 2: create another NSDateFormatter with the desired output string and convert your new NSDate object to a string object using the new NSDateFormatter
NSDateFormatter *f2 = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[f2 setDateFormat:#"dd-MM-y hh:mm"];
[f2 setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneForSecondsFromGMT:0]];
NSString *s = [f2 stringFromDate:date];
desiredformat = s;
P.S. I'm not sure of f format, check this link

There are a few issues with your format string for parsing the original date. And the locale isn't set properly. There is no need to set the timezone. That will be processed from the supplied date/time string.
NSDateFormatter *f = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
NSLocale *posix = [[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:#"en_US_POSIX"];
[f setLocale:posix];
[f setDateFormat:#"EEE MMM dd hh:mm:ss Z yyyy"];
NSDate *date = [f dateFromString:#"Wed Oct 31 11:59:44 +0000 2012"];
You want to use the en_US_POSIX locale whenever you are parsing (or formatting) a fixed format date that is not from or for a user. Do not use the en_US_POSIX locale to display dates or times to a user.
What is the NSFormat required for a string like this?

I'm trying to create a NSDate object from it. thanks
Use the following
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setDateFormat:#"EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss z"];
NSDate *date = [formatter dateFromString:#"Fri, 15 Jun 2012 15:37:38 GMT"];
NSLog([date description]); //2012-06-15 15:37:38 +0000
What's the correct format to parse this string:
"Mon, 14 Mar 2011 15:36:00 GMT"
into a NSDate using NSDateFormatter?
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"EEE, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss zzzz"];
NSDate *myDate = [dateFormatter dateFromString:strPubDate];
NSString *dateStr = [NSString stringWithString:#"Mon, 14 Mar 2011 15:36:00 GMT"];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:#"EEE, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss zzzz"];
NSDate *date = [dateFormat dateFromString:dateStr];
