Re: dateFromString always returns null

[Steven LeMaire]

I was sort of thinking the same, and I tried a few others, i.e. MM-dd-yyyy and 
passing in the date string in a matching layout, but it also didn't work.
I've seen this same example else where, so I think it's supposed to work. My 
understanding is, the date string must match the format specifier.

thanks for the response though !
