reading file with Windows-1255 encoding

[shan]

I have an app that needs to read an html file with charset=Windows-1255. From what I can tell, that is an encoding that is not supported in NSStringEncodings.

Does anybody know how I can do this? The html file will open in a UIWebView just fine, but I need to be able to open, search, and alter the text before it is displayed.

Most likely it is supported. If you look at the very end of the docs for NSStringEncoding you will see a link to docs about CFStringEncoding. This is a much more complete list of encodings. You can use that to create an NSStringEncoding for Windows-1255 most likely.

Thanks, I was just looking in the String Encodings section of NSString on the API docs. I missed the part where it said it was not a complete list. I have it working:

In case anybody else comes across this thread searching for the same thing:

NSString *myString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:filePath encoding:CFStringConvertEncodingToNSStringEncoding (kCFStringEncodingWindowsHebrew) error:&err];
