I am getting a feed that looks like this: 2013-02-13T19:25:27.1381035-06:00

And I am setting it to an NSDate like this:

NSDate *endDate = [tempFormatter1 dateFromString:myEndDateString]

Can I use something like this:

[tempFormatter1 setDateFormat:@"dd-MM-yyyy'T'HH:mm:ss'SSS Z'"];

Is it possible to convert it from this format?

Thanks!

Seems to me it's already formatted. – Hot Licks Feb 13 '13 at 22:00

([Here](http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-25.html#Date_Format_Patterns) is the formatter pattern reference. You have the first part of the formatter pattern right, but it goes awry after "ss".) – Hot Licks Feb 13 '13 at 22:02

(@"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssSSSSSZZZZZ" -- I guess the first part wasn't right either.) – Hot Licks Feb 13 '13 at 22:03

(And don't forget to set the locale to "en_US_POSIX".) – Hot Licks Feb 13 '13 at 22:06
Thanks! It works perfect, I just had to ad a `.` here: `ss.SSSSS` So it ended up being this: `yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSSSSZZZZZ` – SirRupertIII Feb 13 '13 at 22:19
