How to parse EST date using NSDate?

Question

Objective-C

There is a date in the form of a string Tue, 18 Dec 2007 24:00:00 EST , you need to get nsdate from it.
Tried like this:

NSDate *date = [@"Tue, 18 Dec 2007 24:00:00 EST" dateWithFormat:@"EEE, dd MMMM yyyy HH:mm:ss ZZZ"];

- (NSDate *)dateWithFormat:(NSString *)format
{
    NSDateFormatter *formatter = [NSDateFormatter new];
    [formatter setDateFormat:format];
    [formatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithName:@"EST"]];
    return [formatter dateFromString:self];
}

Answer 1

1. you need MMM, not MMMM
2. 24:00:00 - there is no such time

NSDateFormatter *formatter = [NSDateFormatter new];
[formatter setDateFormat:@"EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss 'EST'"];
[formatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithName:@"EST"]];
NSLog(@"%@", [formatter dateFromString:@"Tue, 18 Dec 2007 23:00:00 EST"]);
