When trying to us an NSAttributedString as follows:

attribText = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithHTML:[NSData dataWithBytes:[myTextfield cString] length:[myTextField cStringLength]] documentAttributes:NULL];
if (nil != attribText) {
sockprintf("%s\r\n\r\n", [[attribText string] cString]);
} else {
sockprintf("Plain text not available.\r\n\r\n");
}

I get the error in the Run Window of Project Builder:

Conversion to encoding 30 failed for string "30 \\u044f\\u043d\\u0432\\u0430\\u0440\\u044f 2003\\u0433. \\u2116 1..."

And my Application just sits there unresponsive until I kill it. Neither case of the /if/ test is executed.

Unsure as of yet why the application just dies, but I was looking in the wrong place for the cause of the error. It wasn't the initialization of NSAttributedString that was causing the fault, it was the conversion to a cString. By checking to make sure the string can be converted to NSASCIIStringEncoding first, I avoid the error:

attribText = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithHTML:[NSData dataWithBytes:[myTextfield cString] length:[myTextField cStringLength]] documentAttributes:NULL];
if ((nil != attribText) && ([[attribText string] canBeConvertedToEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding])) {
sockprintf("%s\r\n\r\n", [[attribText string] cString]);
[attribText release];
} else {
sockprintf("Plain text version not available for this message.\r\n\r\n");
}
