Parsing a string into a NSDate

Subject: Parsing a string into a NSDate

Just noticed that my 7-year old dateparsing routine fails when the date format (as set in the international preferences) requires Unicode applications. So I tried the following replacement.

NSString* shortDateFormat; shortDateFormat = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:NSShortDateFormatString]; // "%e/%m/%y" NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease]; [dateFormatter setDateFormat:shortDateFormat]; NSDate* ObjCDate = [dateFormatter dateFromString:inStringDate]; // inStringDate = "15/03/06" result = 01/03/06 (????????)

The problem with this code is that todays date ("15/03/06") is translated into 01/03/06 - the day part being wrong. What did I do wrong?

Thanks a lot,
