OK, then my terminology was inaccurate. I am trying to get the GMT offset. (And it’s not true that date/time strings are always in UTC. ISO8601 is, yes. But older formats like RFC822 often use time-zone names.) > You could parse "-0700" > to determine the GMT offset.

I have done it before, and it sucks, especially if you have to support large numbers of different date/time formats and variants thereof. (The date parser in Apple’s RSS/Atom engine ended up with something like 20 different format strings.) > The following code will parse your time date string. I already know how to parse the string, thanks. —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
