QDateTime not working

So, I have a csv file where every row contains a timestamp (UTC) and a sensor reading. I have been trying to leverage the Qt libraries to aid me however, I have been having a lot of trouble. The following is my code

Code:

---

// Read files until one of the files ends
    for (int i=0; i<noOfFiles; i++)
    {
        QStringList rowVec;
        QString value,timestamp,row;
        QDateTime timestampH;
        while (!(*finVec[i]).eof())
        {
            string str;
            getline(*(finVec[i]),str);
            row = QString::fromLocal8Bit(str.c_str());
            rowVec = row.split(",");
            timestamp = rowVec.at(0);
            value = rowVec.at(1);
 
            timestampH = QDateTime::fromString(timestamp,"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
            timestampH.setTimeSpec(Qt::UTC);
 
            cout << timestampH.isNull() << endl;
        }
    }

---

The result of the code is always such that timestampH is NULL! I am 100% sure that the data in my csv file is the same exact format as "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss". In fact if I copy and paste a single timestamp into my code replacing the variable (QString timestamp) i dont get any problems. Can someone please help me on this I have tried everything the past 2 days and got no where

Your input is not what you think it is.

Code:

---

#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QDateTime>
#include <QStringList>
#include <QDebug>
 
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    QCoreApplication app(argc, argv);
 
    // Mimics your reading via std::string
    std::string str("2013-10-14 23:59:59,some,other,stuff");
    QString row = QString::fromLocal8Bit(str.c_str());
    QStringList rowVec = row.split(",");
    QString timestamp = rowVec.at(0);
    QDateTime timestampH = QDateTime::fromString(timestamp,"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
    timestampH.setTimeSpec(Qt::UTC);
    qDebug() << timestampH << timestampH.toString(Qt::ISODate) << timestampH.isNull();
 
    return 0;
}

Output:

Code:

---

QDateTime("Mon Oct 14 23:59:59 2013") "2013-10-14T23:59:59Z" false
