Hi,
im running into some very odd behavior when using a ShortStyle date
formatter for entering dates, and using single vs double digit year
numbers. typing the year as either "2009" or "09" works as expected,
but typing it as "9" not only does *not adjust the century, but also
produces what i'd consider an invalid date. see the following code and
output:
----
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterNoStyle];
[dateFormatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterShortStyle];
NSDate *date1 = [dateFormatter dateFromString:@"1/1/9"];
NSDate *date2 = [dateFormatter dateFromString:@"1/1/09"];
NSLog(@"Date1:1/1/9: %@", date1);
NSLog(@"Date2:1/1/09: %@", date2);
----
2009-11-03 16:20:19.886 NSDateFormatterTest[33780:a0f] Date1:1/1/9:
0009-01-01 00:00:00 +020204
2009-11-03 16:20:19.888 NSDateFormatterTest[33780:a0f] Date2:1/1/09:
2009-01-01 00:00:00 +0200
note how date1 not only has the year as "0009", but a timezone of
+020204.
this is made worse by the fact that the date *looks* ok (and
indistinguishable from the "good" one when displayed thru the
NSDataFormatter (say in an NSTableView cell)
is this behavior expected? am i doing something wrong? or is this a
bug? can anyone else reproduce this?
thanx,
marc
