I am trying to create a NSDate object from a String. I have hardcoded my string for you to see. When i am calling dateFromString on my string, the result will be nil, and i am getting an exception because of unwrapping a nil. I have pasted my code below.
Any ideas how to do this the right way?
Thank you very much!
let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm"
let timeToParse = "19/10/2016 16:10"
let date = dateFormatter.dateFromString(timeToParse)
//date = nil?
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy/MM/dd hh:mmZZZ"
let dateWithUTC = dateFormatter.stringFromDate(date!)
You've supplied hh
for hours, but this expects a format with 1-12 hours (with at least 2 digits). Since you're using 24 hours format ( 16:..
), you need to use specifier HH
instead, eg:
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm"
Also:
!
), use eg optional binding ( if let ...
) instead, and Eg (Swift 3)
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm"
let timeToParse = "19/10/2016 16:10"
if let date = dateFormatter.date(from: timeToParse) {
print(date) // 2016-10-19 16:10:00 +0000
}
