*facepalm* I did not ask how to convert a time zone string to an NSTimeZone object. I asked how to parse the time zone out of an ENTIRE FORMATTED DATE/TIME STRING that's in some arbitrary format. The result from NSDateFormatter is an NSDate object, which does not contain any time zone info. Alex, I think you’re jumping to the conclusion that of course I would hack into the string and scrape out the part of it containing the time zone. Actually no, I am avoiding that if humanly possible. I’ve been down that road before and it ends with writing your own date parser, which is a nightmare. Date parsing is ugly and complicated and I want to leave it to ICU. —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
