Question

I want to decode my string. I have used parsing and get a string from RSS feed. In a string these special characters are not allowed &,<,> in my app. In server side encoding those characters and give it to the string. So now i got the string like,

 Actual String : <Tom&Jerry>  (only these characters are not allowed in node data & < >).

 After Encoding:  %3CTom%26Jerry%3E.

But i need to display the string is

                  <Tom&Jerry>

So how can i decode the string.

Please help me out.

Thanks.

Use the -stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding: method.

[@"%3CTom%26Jerry%3E"
 stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
