NSDateFormatter, am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Question

I\'m trying to print out the date in a certain format:

NSDate *today = [[NSDate alloc] init];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]         


        

Answer 1

I think this is the solution .

NSDateFormatter *df =[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
        [df setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"];
        NSLocale *usLocale = [[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"en_US"];

[df setLocale: usLocale];

[usLocale release];

 NSDate *documento_en_Linea =[[[NSDate alloc] init]autorelease];

documento_en_Linea=[df dateFromString:@"2010-07-16 21:40:33"];

[df release];

        NSLog(@"fdocumentoenLineaUTC:%@!",documento_en_Linea);


//ouput  
     fdocumentoenLineaUTC:2010-07-16 09:40:33 p.m. -0500!
