Hi there.

Nobody mentioned CFURLCreateStringByAddingPercentEscapes so far.
This encodes the accents (and other characters to percent escapes):
NSString *escape = (NSString *)CFURLCreateStringByAddingPercentEscapes (NULL,
(CFStringRef)aString,
NULL,
CFSTR("'"),
kCFStringEncodingUTF8);


Best regards,
Manfred

Hello:

In order to generate usable Mapquest URLs, need a way to remove the accent marks in an NSString, but keep the "base" character. For example, if there is an ñ I need it converted to n, If there is an ß I need it converted to ss.

Is there an easy way to do this? In the past, I've used an NSString category which takes a dictionary where the key is the character you want to replace, and the value is the replacement. The method enumerate the keys in the dictionary and use componentsSepratatedByString and then componentsJoinedByString to do the replacement.

I'm wondering if there's a better and/or easier way.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

John
