NSString * ENML= [NSString stringWithFormat:#"<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<!DOCTYPE en-note SYSTEM \"http://xml.evernote.com/pub/enml2.dtd\">\n<en-note>%#",aString];
//aString contains the note value
ENML = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#%#", ENML, #"</en-note>"];
NSLog(#"%#", ENML);
// Adding the content & resources to the note
[note setContent:ENML];
#try {
[[Evernote sharedInstance] createNote:note];
_acteverbackup.hidden = YES;
_actimageeverbackup.hidden =YES;
}
#catch (EDAMUserException * e) {
_acteverbackup.hidden = YES;
_actimageeverbackup.hidden =YES;
NSString * errorMessage = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Error saving note: error code %i", [e errorCode]];
proAlertView *alert = [[proAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"Evernote" message:errorMessage delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"ok" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:0.0 green:0.0 blue:0.0 alpha:1.0] withStrokeColor:[UIColor colorWithHue:0.0 saturation:0.0 brightness:0.0 alpha:1.0]];
[alert show];
[alert release];
return;

this is my download or import code
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Load the EDAMNote object that has guid we have stored in the object
EDAMNote * note = [(Evernote *)[Evernote sharedInstance] getNote:guid];
noteNavigation.topItem.title = [note title];
noteContent.text = [note content];
//noteContent is the textview which display the note
// Adding a back button to close the windows
UIBarButtonItem* doneButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemDone target:self action:#selector(goBack:)];
UINavigationItem *item = [[[UINavigationItem alloc] init] autorelease];
item.leftBarButtonItem = doneButton;
item.hidesBackButton = YES;
[noteNavigation pushNavigationItem:item animated:NO];
noteNavigation.topItem.title = [note title];

i need only mynote is here in this textview. How can I separate this from note?

There's a very nice NSString category that you can use, it's a part of the project MWFeedParser. More specifically, you look for the file NSString+HTML.
The NSString+HTML category now supports XML decoding, you can read about it here.
…NSString+XMLEntities category depreciated and replaced by NSString+HTML with improved HTML character entity encoding/decoding via Google Toolbox for Mac.
This category adds to following methods to the NSString class
- (NSString *)stringByStrippingTags;
- (NSString *)stringWithNewLinesAsBRs;
- (NSString *)stringByRemovingNewLinesAndWhitespace;
- (NSString *)stringByDecodingHTMLEntities;
- (NSString *)stringByEncodingHTMLEntities;
You should be able to transform XML into an NSString in a smart way by using it.
NSString *summary = [[[item.summary stringByStrippingTags] stringByRemovingNewLinesAndWhitespace] stringByDecodingHTMLEntities];
Hope it helps!
