NSDateFormatter and yyyy-MM-dd

Question

I\'m trying to take a NSString date in the format \"2/22/11\" and convert it to this format: 2011-02-22

This is my code:

NSDate *dateTemp = [[NSDate          


        

Answer 1

This should work fine. I have set Date style. You can change NSDateFormatterShortStyle to something else. Also check your newInvoice.date format.

NSDate *dateTemp = [[NSDate alloc] init];

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

[dateFormat setDateStyle: NSDateFormatterShortStyle];

dateTemp = [dateFormat dateFromString: newInvoice.date];

[dateFormat setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd"];

newInvoice.date = [dateFormat stringFromDate:dateTemp];
