GOT IT!

Needed to put ‘ ‘ around the ‘T’ and ‘Z’ like this:

@”yyyy-MM-dd’T'HH:mm:ss’Z'”;

Is this the right way to go?

//——————————– CODE ———————————-

NSString *dateStr = @”2011-09-19T12:23:51Z”;

// Convert string to date objekt
NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
dateFormat.dateFormat = @”yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ssZ”;
NSDate *date = [dateFormat dateFromString:dateStr];

// Convert date object to desired output format
[dateFormat setDateFormat:@"dd. MMMM yyyy"];
dateStr = [dateFormat stringFromDate:date];
[dateFormat release];

//—————————- CODE ENDS ——————————

Hi
Thanks for sharing. I’m having a problem though.
I need to convert the following string into af date object: 2011-09-19T12:23:51Z

And then convert the date object back to a string with this format: 19. september 2011

I can’t figure out what the “T” and “Z” is all about?
Can anyone help me?

Kind regards
Jesper

How can I confirm whether an allowable date string i.e. xx/xx/xx or xx/xx/xxxx has been entered into a textfield?

I take the string in code and convert it to a date and do math on the date. All is well if the date string is added properly as shown above. I have to validate the entry string and don’t know how.

Thanks
