Question

I am to send data to digital meter for which I want data in NSMutableData form. I am trying to assign it data but getting errors.

NSMutableData *body = [[NSMutableData alloc] initWithData:[NSData @"1"];

I want to asign string e.g. “1”, “start” etc to NSMutableData.

You can’t convert directly from an NSString to NSMutableData, you have to encode the string as NSData first. (There are several ways to go from NSData to NSMutableData, but I think mutableCopy is the clearest.);

Try this:

NSString *yourString  = @"Your string text";
NSData *data = [yourString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSMutableData *body = [data mutableCopy];
