How did you possibly get this to work? NSTask takes a list of
arguments. These arguments do not need to be shell escaped unless
your NSTask is a shell (ie, tsch, bash, et cetera). If your NSTask is
a shell, that's very, very bad. But you could just enclose the string
with quotes if you're doing such a thing.
Enclosing in quotes is only needed if there will be shell
substitution done, which is only done by the shell.
Here's the big problem... IIRC, %s interprets the string as the
system encoding. (Which would be either MacFrench or MacRoman in your
case). But -fileSystemRepresentation returns a "UTF-8" string. So
anything that doesn't have the exact same value (such as French
accents) in both encodings are going to get changed and mangled and
you'll get a file not found error.
There's no reason at all to do string with format. You have the
string as an NSString, there's no reason to convert it to anything
else.
