NSDateFormatter Breaks on non-English OS

  • Thread-topic: NSDateFormatter Breaks on non-English OS

NSString*      myDateFormat = @"%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y";
NSDate*        myDate = nil;

// myDateString is "Tue Jun 30 15:53:24 UTC 2009"

myFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] initWithDateFormat:imageDateFormat
allowNaturalLanguage:NO];

myDate = [myFormatter dateFromString:myDateString];


This works on my English OS, but if I set the Number format to German,
myDate is nil. Why?

If I am supplying the string format, and the string is correct, how do I fix
it? Is it because "Tue" is English?

How can I force it to parse in English as my string will always be English?

Thanks,

T.
