iOS NSDateFormatter for IPhone

[arnieterm]

Hi all
I am trying to generate an NSDate value by passing the below given string
to the setDateFormat method of NSDateFormatter
as show below

NSDateFormatter *dt=[[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
	[dt setFormatterBehavior:NSDateFormatterBehavior10_4];
	[dt setDateFormat:@"yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:ss +0000"];

When I make use of
dateFromString with the below given string
"2009-02-01 00:00:00 +0000", it does not generate a valid date
What's wrong with this date format?
Thanks

You probably used invalid date format pattern.
Y = year
M = month
m = minute

So your date format should be: "YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss +0000".

Cheers.
