Hello,
I'm trying to set up a date formatter to convert a date string I receive from a
server when downloading and sync'ing notes from web app. The dates I receive
look like this:
2008-12-18 04:04:20.554442
The API docs for this web app specify that this is in GMT time, technically
apparently UTC according to their forums. I'm trying to convert this into an
NSDate using NSDateFormatter, which is all fine except for the milliseconds at
the end. Here's my formatter:
dateFormatter= [[NSDateFormatteralloc] init];
[dateFormattersetFormatterBehavior:NSDateFormatterBehavior10_4];
[dateFormattersetDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSSSS"];
//[dateFormatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneForSecondsFromGMT:0]];
[dateFormattersetTimeZone:[NSTimeZonetimeZoneWithAbbreviation:@"UTC"]];
The trouble is that whereas the milliseconds on the server are six digits long,
I only ever get three digits, the last three always being zero.
For instance:
NSString*dateStr = @"2008-12-18 04:04:20.554442";
date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:dateStr];
[dateFormatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZonesystemTimeZone]];
NSLog (@"%@", [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date]);
The output of this is:
2008-12-18 04:04:20.554000
It's not really a big deal, since any comparison I make will always be between
rounded dates, so it shouldn't have any significant impact. However, I'm just
wondering if I'm missing something here or doing something wrong - whether it
is an error on my part that is causing the rounding (because an error on my
part seems most likely :) ).
Thanks and all the best,
Keith
