My specific questions are:Is the NSString allocation and initWithCharacters code the best way to do this? If so, what would the setter look like in this case? If not what is a better way of doing it?
Hey Dave,I don't think that initWithCharacters is what you want... that expects an array of unichar characters, which isn't what you said you had. Since you're doing the encoding in your other function, and you know what it is, just use the initWithBytes function and the specific encoding. For example (assuming your byte array was in UTF-16BE:
char *buf = /* initialized and filled somewhere else */ size_t buf_len = /* set somewhere else */NSString *myString = [[NSString alloc] initWithBytes:buf length:buf_len encoding:NSUTF16BigEndianStringEncoding];
Just remember, the length is the actual number of bytes (including the 0x00 bytes in the array), not the number of code points or the number of characters.
