Question

I have the following code – note it has to objects with temp, but I will explain.

NSString *temp =  _passedOnURL;
NSString *temp = @"http://google.com"; //I comment the one out that I do not use.

NSLog(@"TEMP - %@", temp);

NSURL *feedURL = [NSURL URLWithString:temp];
NSLog(@"FEED URL - %@", feedURL);

The _passedOnURL is a string with the contents passed from a Segue.

Now when I use the 1st temp, the FEED URL returns (null), but when I Log Temp it is still there, so somehow the NSURL does not read the string.

When I hardcode the string with the second temp – there is no issue.

In my mind there is no difference for the NSURL when it is reading the NSString yet, it seems to behave different.

Is there any reason for this??

EDIT

When I do the following code I have no issues:

_passedOnURL = @"http://www.google.com";

so I really have no explanation for this???

Answer 1

try escaping it : [NSURL URLWithString: [temp stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding: NSASCIIStringEncoding]]
