Question

This is what I am trying for getting date from the string 2016-10-20T13:01:47.317 but getting nil

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter1 =         


        

Answer 1

it .317 means milliseconds use SSS

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter1 = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter1 setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.SSS"]; // or omit the timezone use `yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS`
 NSDate *date = [dateFormatter1 dateFromString:dateString];
