OK, I feel really stupid now :) Turns out that NSLog was fooling me after all

Nope, NSLog isn't fooling me. I'm parsing css files, and my % signs are lost. I am trying this out with the css file I downloaded at:
http://www.w3c.org/Style/shadows.css In one property there is a font size of 140%, but it comes through as 140. And the % isn't lost in my parsing, it's not in the string that is loaded in the first place either. I select a file using an open panel and take its path. Then I do this:
css = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:[op filename]];

No % signs are in the resulting string. This is the only line of code that causes it, so I guess loading a string directly from a file isn't what I should be doing. But what should I do then? I'd think this is supposed to work.

I'd think so too. Oddly enough, it works for me. I downloaded .css file from the URL gave and did this in a little scratch program:

NSString *path = @"/Volumes/FileDrop/downloads/___RECENT/shadows.css";
NSString *s = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:path];

NSLog(@"%@", s);

The "font-size: 140% /*200%*/;" showed up just fine.

Can you post a little more of your code? And again, *how* are you finding out that your string does not contain the %? What is your proof?
