Twitter date unparseable?

Question

I want to convert the date string in a Twitter response to a Date object, but I always get a ParseException and I cannot see the error!?!

Input string: Thu Dec 23 18

Answer 1

in C# you can do like this

DateTime date = DateTime.ParseExact(dt, "ffffd MMM dd HH:mm:ss +0000 yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
