NSString TO NSDate Conversion

I Have a开发者_开发知识库 String.

     NSString *str=@"January-06-2012";

How would I convert the above NSString like this.

    @"2012-01-06 00:00:00 +0000";

Thanks

Use NSDateFormatter class .. YOu would need two of them .. one to convert your NSString* str to a date using [dateformatter dateFromString] and then another to convert your newly created date object to the differently formatted string using [dateformatter1 stringFromDate]
