I'm writing an IRC app at the moment, and while [[NSString alloc]
initWith
Data:bleh encoding:NSSomeStringEncoding] works, it escapes
non-printing values such as ASCII 02. IRC uses several of the low
non-printing ASCII values for control codes, bold, underlines, CTCP,
color, etc. I want to stick with using the Cocoa provided encoding and
decoding stuff, that will save me a good deal of work when I,
eventually, add support for the Japanese encodings. (Should make it
nearly free, right? I'll have to research that some, later.) In any
case, is there any hidden argument I can give NSString or the NSData
instance to make it preserve non-printing characters exactly as they are.
(Note, I thought about merely searching for the escaped sequences, \002
and such, but that runs afoul of someone innocently or not-so-innocently
typing such a sequence and sending it, being able to trick my client and
make it react in a way I consider wrong.)
