Replace occurrences of NSString - iPhone

Question

I have a long NSString in which I m trying to replace special characters. Part of my string looks like this:

\"veau (c\\u00f4telette)\",\"veau (filet)\",\"ag         


        

Answer 1

The backslash is an escape character, so if you want to specify the actual backslash character in a string literal, you need to use two backslashes.

NSString *new = [old stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString: @"\\u0153" withString:@"oe"];

Answer 2

NSString is immutable, so the function generates a new string that you have to store:

NSString *new = [old stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"\u0153" withString:@"oe"];
