However, getting back to the original issue, of course I would
never put a
0x0 NUL in an NSString myself. But I discovered this issue when I was
testing today. My app reads in a supposed text file as data of
unknown
string encoding. After doing a few tests to determine the
encoding, it uses
the data to initialize an NSString. If some nasty person puts an
ASCII 0x0
NUL in the file, it flows right through to my NSString and causes
problems
later.
I found the exact same problem. Sometimes when pasting from some
versions of Dreamweaver I would get a NULL terminating the string.
