DateTime到NSDate

Question

How do I convert string 2010-11-19T20:00:00Z into an NSDate object?

I've tried using [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ"] but it looks like I got the wrong custom format style.

PS: I don't care about Timezones. Actually, I want the date to stay in the original (UTC) timezone.

Answer 1

Try using your format string to convert from an NSDate to a string and see what you get. It's easier debugging in that direction than the other.

In this case, looks as though you need to escape the T and Z literals in your pattern. Something like this:

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