Question

code :

#import "EncodeURLString.h"

@implementation EncodeURLString

- (NSString *)urlEncodeValue:(NSString *)str
{
    NSString *result = (NSString *)CFURLCreateStringByAddingPercentEscapes(kCFAllocatorDefault, (CFStringRef)str, NULL, CFSTR("!*'\";$,#[] "), kCFStringEncodingUTF8);
    return [result autorelease];
}

- (NSString *)safeEcapeString:(NSString *)str
{
    NSString *result = [str stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@":" withString:@"\\:"];
    result = [result stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@";" withString:@"\\;"];
    result = [result stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"," withString:@"\\,"];
    return [result autorelease];
}

@end

this code is causing the # tag in my url to be converted into %23 is there a way that i make it stop converting the hash tags? i’ve tried removing it from here CFSTR(“!*’\”;$,#[] “) but it doesn’t work it still converts it. any help or tips would be appreciated

Thanks

Remove the hash from the legalURLCharactersToBeEscaped parameter and use CFSTR("#") for charactersToLeaveUnescaped.
