NSDateFormatter problem


  • Subject: NSDateFormatter problem
  • From: Lorenzo Thurman <email@hidden>

This code, copied verbatim from here, http://bit.ly/HWTGB:

	NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
	[dateFormatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterMediumStyle];
	[dateFormatter setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterNoStyle];

	NSDate *date = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceReferenceDate:162000];

	NSString *formattedDateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date];
	NSLog(@"formattedDateString: %@", formattedDateString);

produces this output:
formattedDateString: 01/02/01

when it should produce this:
// Output for locale en_US: "formattedDateString: Jan 2, 2001"

I have been testing some localizations, but I've only ever changed the language in the Language and Text System Preferences, none of the formatting options were changed, so I'm at a loss as to why this is happening. My original code is broken as well, producing the same mm/dd/yy output and it once worked perfectly. So I went back to basics and just copied the example code from Apple as a sanity check. Can someone provide some insight?
Thanks
