Hello,
I remember that there is a class that strips those orrible Microsoft Word bad characters ( some dashes and quotes )

Amedeo,

Here's a slightly more elaborate and perhaps more complete solution. Tested, tried and true in production apps.

private static NSDictionary<String, String> gremlins;

public static NSDictionary<String, String> gremlins() { if (gremlins == null) { NSMutableDictionary<String, String> dict = new NSMutableDictionary<String, String>(); // standard versions dict.setObjectForKey(" ", Character.toString((char)194) + Character.toString((char)160)); // non-breaking space dict.setObjectForKey("®", Character.toString((char)194) + Character.toString((char)174)); // registered trademark dict.setObjectForKey("¼", Character.toString((char)194) + Character.toString((char)188)); // 1/4 dict.setObjectForKey("½", Character.toString((char)194) + Character.toString((char)189)); // 1/2 dict.setObjectForKey("¾", Character.toString((char)194) + Character.toString((char)190)); // 3/4 dict.setObjectForKey("–", Character.toString((char)226) + Character.toString((char)128) + Character.toString((char)147)); // endash dict.setObjectForKey("–", Character.toString((char)226) + Character.toString((char)128) + Character.toString((char)148)); // emdash dict.setObjectForKey("‘", Character.toString((char)226) + Character.toString((char)128) + Character.toString((char)152)); // left single quotation mark dict.setObjectForKey("’", Character.toString((char)226) + Character.toString((char)128) + Character.toString((char)153)); // right single quotation mark dict.setObjectForKey("“", Character.toString((char)226) + Character.toString((char)128) + Character.toString((char)156)); // left double quotation mark dict.setObjectForKey("”", Character.toString((char)226) + Character.toString((char)128) + Character.toString((char)157)); // right double quotation mark dict.setObjectForKey("•", Character.toString((char)226) + Character.toString((char)128) + Character.toString((char)162)); // bullet dict.setObjectForKey("…", Character.toString((char)226) + Character.toString((char)128) + Character.toString((char)166)); // ellipsis dict.setObjectForKey("™", Character.toString((char)226) + Character.toString((char)132) + Character.toString((char)162)); // trademark

// serialized versions dict.setObjectForKey(" ", "\\U00c2\\U00a0"); // non-breaking space dict.setObjectForKey("®", "\\U00c2\\U00ae"); // registered trademark dict.setObjectForKey("¼", "\\U00c2\\U00bc"); // 1/4 dict.setObjectForKey("½", "\\U00c2\\U00bd"); // 1/2 dict.setObjectForKey("¾", "\\U00c2\\U00be"); // 3/4 dict.setObjectForKey("–", "\\U00e2\\U0080\\U0093"); // endash dict.setObjectForKey("–", "\\U00e2\\U0080\\U0094"); // emdash dict.setObjectForKey("‘", "\\U00e2\\U0080\\U0098"); // left single quotation mark dict.setObjectForKey("’", "\\U00e2\\U0080\\U0099"); // right single quotation mark dict.setObjectForKey("“", "\\U00e2\\U0080\\U009c"); // left double quotation mark dict.setObjectForKey("”", "\\U00e2\\U0080\\U009d"); // right double quotation mark dict.setObjectForKey("•", "\\U00e2\\U0080\\U00a2"); // bullet dict.setObjectForKey("…", "\\U00e2\\U0080\\U00a6"); // ellipsis dict.setObjectForKey("™", "\\U00e2\\U0084\\U00a2"); // trademark // done gremlins = dict.immutableClone(); } return gremlins; }

public static String convertGremlins(String value) { if (value == null) return null; String key, result = value; Enumeration<String> enumeration = gremlins().keyEnumerator(); while (enumeration.hasMoreElements()) { key = enumeration.nextElement(); result = ERXStringUtilities.replaceStringByStringInString(key, gremlins().objectForKey(key), result); } return result; }
