Convert NSString to UTF8String?

Question

Currently I am download data from a server and I have this line to get that NSData into a NSString.

NSString *txt = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];

How would I go from here to convert that NSString into a UTF8 string?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Change NSASCIIStringEncoding to NSUTF8StringEncoding .

I ran a quick test now with some dummy data and seemed to work fine with just that one line.

Answer 2

NSData *utf8Data = [txt dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
