Thank you. I encountered a bug with the handling of the backslash though
(see below). It would be great for my work if Apple fixed it soon.

So far as I know, there's no bug, just that NSLog is not a *print* method,
but a *debug* method, and therefore it happily shows escapes by a kinda haphazard way, presumed to be the most readable one in console. In the actual string, though, all should be all right (do check yourself, eg. using characterAtIndex:).

I ran a test. The results are included below.

NSString *s = @"/test/ test/ test";
NSArray *arr = [s componentsSeparatedByString:@" "];
int i;

NSLog(@"s is %@", s);
for (i = 0; i < [arr count]; i++) {
NSLog(@"arr[%d] is %@", i, [arr objectAtIndex:i]);
}
s=[arr componentsJoinedByString:@"\\ "];
NSLog(@"s is now %@", s);
for (i = 0; i < [s length]; i++) {
NSLog(@"char in s at %d is %c", i, [s characterAtIndex:i]);
}
