My string will always be of the format: "Tue Jun 30 15:53:24 UTC 2009" Thus NSString* myDateFormat = @"%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y";; NSString* myDateString = @"Tue Jun 30 15:53:24 UTC 2009"; myFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] initWithDateFormat:imageDateFormat allowNaturalLanguage:NO]; myDate = [myFormatter dateFromString:myDateString]; myDate stay nil on non English Oss. Even if I add the short abbreviations to the formatter. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
