convert nsstring 2013-04-18T06:53:26-04:00 to nsdate

Question

I am trying to convert string 2013-04-18T06:53:26-04:00 to NSDate. Here is my code.

NSDateFormatter *rfc3339DateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] ;
NSLocale *enUSPOSIXLocale = [[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"en_US_POSIX"];
assert(enUSPOSIXLocale != nil);

[rfc3339DateFormatter setLocale:enUSPOSIXLocale];
[rfc3339DateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZZZZ"];
NSLog(@"str %@",[rfc3339DateFormatter dateFromString:@"2013-04-18T06:53:26-04:00"]);

I am getting always (null)

I think you need to surround `T` in your date format with single quotes as it is literal letter T and not format string. — Eimantas, Jul 27 '13 at 08:11
@Eimantas You should add that as an answer, that is the problem. — Joachim Isaksson, Jul 27 '13 at 08:13
