Question

Hi can’t read the french accent (like ‘é’) in a text file,
this is the piece of code I use to open and read the file…

FILE* file = fopen( [MyFileName UTF8String], "r, ccs=UTF-8");
if (file != 0)
{
    while(fgets(buffer, 1024, file) != NULL)
    {      
        NSString* string = [[NSString alloc] initWithCString: buffer];
        //Do many things.....
    }
    fclose(file);
}

I can’t see where is the problem, my file is correctly encoded in UTF8…

Thanks!

Instead of fopen and fgets you can read the content of file in a NSString by using stringWithContentsOfFile:usedEncoding:error: method directly.

NSString *fileContent = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:myFilePath usedEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:NULL];
