Hello again,
The extra question marks? My bad. Sorry about that. I have removed
them and it still fails. The URL looks like this now:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=4720+Forbes+Avenue,Suite+420+Pittsburgh
+Pennsylvania+15213+United+States
Thanks Stephen and John for your quick reply.

What's up with the question marks after Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania?
I'd be suspicious of that. A URL with multiple question marks
doesn't seem legal to me. It's probably indicative of a problem
somewhere, but even assuming you wanted them there, you'd need to
percent-escape them.

Hello,
I fail to see why instantiating the following URL fails. Here's
the code:
NSMutableString * googleAddress = [NSMutableString
stringWithString:[self stringValue]];
// Prepare the address in a format that Google
understands...
[googleAddress replaceOccurrencesOfString:@"\n"
withString:@"+" options:nil range:NSMakeRange(0, [googleAddress
length])];
[googleAddress replaceOccurrencesOfString:@" "
withString:@"+" options:nil range:NSMakeRange(0, [googleAddress
length])];
NSLog(@"%@", googleAddress);
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:googleAddress];
NSLog(@"%@", url);
[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace]openURL:url];
This is the output:
2006-10-07 18:07:21.563 Test[14980:117] http://maps.google.com/
maps?q=4720+Forbes+Avenue,Suite+420+Pittsburgh?+Pennsylvania?+15213
+United+States
2006-10-07 18:07:21.564 Test[14980:117] (null)
If you paste the URL above in Google maps, it works fine. However,
URLWithString: returns nil. Any idea why?
Thanks in advance,
