Hello Adam,
If I understand correctly, I believe you should let the OS handle that
by using any of the following methods:
NSString's - (const char *)fileSystemRepresentation
NSFileManager's - (const char
*)fileSystemRepresentationWithPath:(NSString *)path
I hope this helps,

Unless I use NSMacOSRomanStringEncoding, things don't work right (I'm

using the AGRegex framework for find/replace). I originally used the

Has anyone else run across this, or know of a better way to handle it?
