Anyone experience this weird behaviour with date parsing? Given the
following code, it produces a different log output when running in
the simulator or on the iPhone!!!
NSString* test = @"Monday 26 January 2009 3:47:33 pm +0000";
NSDateFormatter *df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[df setDateFormat: @"EEEE dd MMMM yyyy h:mm:ss a Z"];
NSLog(@"DATE: %@ to %i", test, [df dateFromString: test]);
This is the NSLog output on the iphone:
2009-03-04 22:08:49.645 Test[2875:20b] DATE: Monday 26 January 2009
3:47:33 pm +0000 to 0
And this on the simulator:
2009-03-04 22:09:05.095 Test[68041:20b] DATE: Monday 26 January
2009 3:47:33 pm +0000 to 5432224
It seems that if you have your Regional settings to Chinese the date
is not parsed. What is the proper way to parse an "English"
formatted date?
Yes, the date formatter you're creating defaults to using the user's
locale, which can have settings which override even your attempt to
set a specific format string. Do this after creating the formatter:
[df setLocale:[NSLocale systemLocale]]; to set a generic locale object
on the formatter.
[This applies to Mac OS X as well as iPhone OS, it's just that iPhone
OS tends to exercise such override settings more -- currently.]
