When i try to parse xml containing email address say john#abc.com, it just shows "abc.com".
How can i make it to show the complete email address. In other cases i've removed some special charcters by using the following:-
string=[string stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"$" withString:#""];
but here i've to include the symbol "#" and characters before it.
Thanks for any help.
Well... finally found a solution for myself. I converted the xml data into a string and replaced characters. Below is the code:-
NSError* error;
NSString *content = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:url encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding error:&error];
content=[content stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"#" withString:#"#"];
NSData *data = [content dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
Problem Solved :)
NSString *string = #"$amdocs.com";
string=[string stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"$" withString:#"#"];
NSLog(#"%#",string);
maybe it will help you.

I am having some issues in dealing with characters in NSStrings.
I read a XML file converted to NSData, it is okay, but when I transfer the "Element name" it has not converted to UTF-8.
I've tried here are some examples of the site, but with no success.
My Code is -
NSString * S = [NSString stringWithFormat: # "%#", D];
S = [S stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding];
Try this..
NSString *url = S;
NSString *check=[url stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
check=[check stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"%0A" withString:#""];
I'm doing this to encode my URL in this way,
but its not working,
i got the result in NSLog but its the same url nothing is changing.
Please help me to sort this issue.
below is my code :
NSString *unencodedUrlString =
[#"http://www.demii.com/demo/dooponz/admin/index.php/chat/new_message/4/1/you/2,7"
stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(#" %#", unencodedUrlString);
Thanks in advance
The comma is a legal URL character, therefore stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding leaves "2,7" as it is and does not replace it by "2%2C7".
If you want the comma to be replaced by a percent escape (as I understand from your
comment to the question), you can use CFURLCreateStringByAddingPercentEscapes
instead:
NSString *str = #"http://www.demii.com/demo/dooponz/admin/index.php/chat/new_message/4/1/you/2,7";
NSString *encoded = CFBridgingRelease(CFURLCreateStringByAddingPercentEscapes(kCFAllocatorDefault,
(__bridge CFStringRef)(str), NULL, CFSTR(","), kCFStringEncodingUTF8));
NSLog(#"%#", encoded);
Output:
http://www.demii.com/demo/dooponz/admin/index.php/chat/new_message/4/1/you/2%2C7
The fourth parameter CFSTR(",") specifies that the comma should be replaced by
a percent escape even if it is a legal URL character.
Use this
NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://www.demii.com/demo/dooponz/admin/index.php/chat/new_message/4/1/you/2,7"];
NSString *path = [str stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"," withString:#"/"];
NSLog(#"%#",path);
This will do nothing but will make , to /.
for(int i= 0 ;i<[urlsArrray count]; i++)
{
NSString *urlString = [urlsArrray objectAtIndex:i];
NSString *escapedUrlString = [urlString stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:escapedUrlString];
NSString *urlstring1 = [url absoluteString];
NSArray *parts = [urlstring1 componentsSeparatedByString:#"/"];
NSString *fileName = [parts objectAtIndex:[parts count]-1];
NSMutableString *tempString = [NSMutableString stringWithString:fileName];
// [tempString replaceCharactersInRange:[tempString rangeOfString:#"%20"] withString:#" "];
NSLog(#"file name in temp string: %# word name: %#", tempString, wordNameDB);
NSRange match = [tempString rangeOfString:wordNameDB];
if(match.location != NSNotFound)
{
NSLog(#"match found at %u", match.location);
isAvailable = YES;
break;
}
Hi friends, now my problem is i am getting file name from server..., if file name is having any spaces then it replace '%20' ( i.e ex: "hello world" is actual name but i am getting file name like: "hello%20world") .
1. I am not sure all file names having spaces.
2. And also i am not sure a file may have only one space
so first i have to check the file is having spaces or not, if have then i want to replace all "%20" with #" " string. Please give me any suggestions or code snippets.
OR " THERE IA ANY OTHER WAY TO READ FILE NAMES WITHOUT GETTING '%20' IN THE PLACE OF SPACE(#" ")..... thank you
If you have your file name stored in fileName param, you can use the following:
fileName = [fileName stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"%20" withString:#" "];
The above code will replace all "%20" with " ". If there are no "%20" in the fileName, you will get back the same string.
Correction:
I was confused with stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding mentioned in code and thought you have already used stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding. If you are not using stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding method, you should use that in this case. The above code is useful, only if that is not able to remove any particular string which you want to replace.
What you need is replacing the escape charcters, according to the encoding.
Use this and all your spaces and other URL encoded characters will be converted to what you need.
[#"yourString" stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
THERE IA ANY OTHER WAY TO READ FILE NAMES WITHOUT GETTING '%20' IN THE PLACE OF SPACE(#" ")
Yes, use this:
NSString *newString = [yourstring stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
Use this to remove spaces ..
urlString = [urlString stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];
You seem to already have a valid NSURL object representing the file. Getting the filename from a URL is easy:
...
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:escapedUrlString];
NSString *path = [url path];
NSString *filename = [path lastPathComponent];
No fiddling with unescaping percent escapes, URL parsing, and other error prone stuff.
i need to send smiley to other user through iphone app ,so i need to replace \ string with some unique string in obj c.
here if your string is #"\ud83d\ude04" then it is give error "Invalid Character" so put this ' special character and then use it ..
NSString *str = #"\'ud83d\'ude04";//// here if your string is #"\ud83d\ude04" then it is give error "Invalid Character" so put this ' special character and then use it
NSString *smileWithString = [str stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"\'" withString:#":)"];
[smileWithString retain];
NSLog(#"\n\n SmileString %# Str %#",smileWithString);
Update:
Here’s how to convert NSString to NSData – it’s really simple:
NSString *myString = #"Some String";
NSData *myData = [myString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
And what about the reverse conversion, i.e. how to convert NSData to NSString? Here’s one quick way:
NSString *myString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%.*s",[myData length], [myData bytes]];
Use encoding of NSString and when need to use or show string decode it.
Refer base64-encoding link.
Your looking for stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString that should do the trick.
NSString *newString = [oldString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"\" withString:#"uniqueString"];
I am downloading data (text) from a server.
I have tried with both:NSISOLatin1StringEncoding and NSASCIIStringEncoding
But I keep seeing things like: {"estado":"M\u00e9xico"}
Noting that it should read México and not M\u00e9xico (with an accent over the e).
Looking online I figured that \u00e9 is in fact é link.
But the NSString is not able to interpret this and instead prints weird things on my UILabels:
I would really really appreciate your help on this.
Alsso, if you are itnerested, you can download the data from here: http://www.miorden.com/demo/iphone/estadoJSON.php
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.miorden.com/demo/iphone/estadoJSON.php"]];
NSString *string = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSLog(#"Downloaded: %#", string);
string = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.miorden.com/demo/iphone/estadoJSON.php"] encoding:NSISOLatin1StringEncoding error:nil];
NSLog(#"Downloaded: %#", string);
I have been literally trying for days and it is killing me!
Thank you so much!
That appears to be unicode, try NSUTF8StringEncoding.
The data is in JSON format, so you'll need to JSON decode it too.
For example using this: https://github.com/TouchCode/TouchJSON
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.miorden.com/demo/iphone/estadoJSON.php"]];
NSError *error;
NSArray *array = [[CJSONDeserializer deserializer] deserializeAsArray:data error:&error];
NSLog(#"Test: %#", [[array objectAtIndex:11] valueForKey:#"estado"]);
outputs
