Surely there is an easy way of doing that?
There exists a function to escape to percent escapes, but this is
not what
you want. I would recommend writing your own function and escaping
them to
numerals instead of the word; i.e. "ê" as this can be done
generically
in a loop without having to know that ~ is ∼ Here is my class
method
that does just that:
+ (NSMutableString *)encodeHTML:(id)aString {
NSMutableString *stringToEncode = [NSMutableString string];
[stringToEncode setString:aString];
unsigned int i, count = [stringToEncode length];
for (i =0; i < count; i++) {
if ([stringToEncode characterAtIndex:i] > 127){
NSString *replaceString = [NSString
stringWithFormat:@"&#%d;",
[stringToEncode characterAtIndex:i]];
[stringToEncode replaceCharactersInRange:NSMakeRange(i,1)
withString:replaceString];
count = [stringToEncode length];
i += [replaceString length] -1;
}
}
return stringToEncode;
}
You might want to add the following line to encode the amp as well
at the
beginning, depending on your needs:
[stringToEncode replaceOccurrencesOfString:@"&" withString:@"&"
options:NSLiteralSearch range:NSMakeRange(0, [stringToEncode
length])];
