I am appending the output of an NSTask (NSData) into a textview with

if the output contains non-english characters, such as japanese, wierd

NSString *inText = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:inData
encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
[logField replaceCharactersInRange:textEnd withString:inText];
I tried changing NSASCIIStringEncoding to NSUTF8StringEncoding, but
then an exception is raised saying withString is nil, whenever
non-english characters were in the output.
Is there any way I can make the incoming data UTF8 without errors so I
can append it to the textview?
The NSTask output is already in an encoding: the encoding used by
command-line apps. You can get that encoding by using [NSString
defaultCStringEncoding]. Use that encoding to translate it to an
NSString. There is also an environment variable,
__CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING, but I don't know how to parse its fields.
