IOS how to set date format [duplicate]

Question

I have a string like this

NSString *datestr = @"2013-08-06T03:51:54+00:00";

I try to set dateformat as below:

NSDateFormatter *dformat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];

[dformat setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss"];

NSDate *date = [dformat dateFromString:datestr];

But the date will be nil, so, can anyone tell me how to set the dateformat, thx!

Answer 1

Try this:

 NSDateFormatter *dformat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];

[dformat setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZZZ"];

NSDate *date = [dformat dateFromString:datestr];

Add ZZZ to the end of your formatter.
