Question

I am able to replace space " " character in a URL but when there is a non-english character in it returns wrong URL. Example:

The URL I’m using : www.mostlifeclub.com/MostWeb/img/gallery2/7göller (2).jpg

The code I’m using:

tempUrl = 
[tempUrl stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@"%20"];

What it returns me is:

http://www.mostlifeclub.com/MostWeb/img/gallery2/7göller%20(1).jpg

(some chinese characters added in there)

Therefore, I can not show the photo in my photo gallery.

What might be the problem?

Answer 1

have you tried stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding method?

NSMutableString *string = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];

[string setString:@"http://urlWithStrång€Characters"];

NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:[string stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
