i want to parse rss file in Windows-1256" encoding but it is not being read by parser
i done alot of parsing in UTF8 encoding but only this don't work why?
rss file with Windows-1256
Solved
solution is
NSString *myStr = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:myData encoding:CFStringConvertEncodingToNSStringEncoding(kCFStringEncodingWindowsArabic) ];
myStr = [myStr stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"encoding=\"windows-1251\"" withString:@""];
NSData* aData = [myStr dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSXMLParser *parser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithData:aData];
Thank you Mohamed for the answer I kept working on it for 10 days and we found no answers at all. This is my code:
-(void)parseXMLFileAtURL:(NSString *)URL {
NSURL *xmlURL = [NSURL URLWithString:URL];
NSData * dataXml = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:xmlURL];
NSString *myStr = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:dataXml encoding:CFStringConvertEncodingToNSStringEncoding(kCFStringEncodingWindowsArabic)];
myStr = [myStr stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"encoding=\"windows-1256\"" withString:@""];
NSData *aData = [myStr dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSXMLParser *rssParser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithData:aData];
[dataXml release];
[rssParser setDelegate:self];
[rssParser setShouldProcessNamespaces:NO];
[rssParser setShouldReportNamespacePrefixes:NO];
[rssParser setShouldResolveExternalEntities:NO];
[rssParser parse];
[rssParser setDelegate:nil];
[rssParser release];
}
Also you can try this:
int length = str.length >100 ? 100:str.length;
NSString*mystr= [str stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"encoding=\".*?\""
withString:@""
options:NSRegularExpressionSearch
range:NSMakeRange(0, length)];
If you implement the parseErrorOccurred:
method in your NSXMLParser
delegate, it will give you the exact reason for the errors.
Something like:
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser parseErrorOccurred:(NSError *)parseError {
NSLog(@"NSXMLParser ERROR: %@ - %@", , [parseError localizedDescription], [parseError localizedFailureReason]);
}
