Here is my code:
NSLog(@"%s start \"%...@\"",__FUNCTION__, pat1);
NSString *pat2 = [ pat1 stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:
[ NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet ] ];
NSLog(@"%s removed white: \"%...@\"",__FUNCTION__, pat2);
NSString *pat3 = [ pat2 stringByStandardizingPath ];
NSLog(@"%s standardized \"%...@\"",__FUNCTION__, pat3);
And this is the result:
start "/Volumes/เม่น/Users/gerriet/Downloads/absAbsSymlink"
removed white: "/Volumes/เม่น/Users/gerriet/Downloads/
absAbsSymlink"
standardized "/Volumes/เม่น/Users/gerriet/Downloads/
absAbsSymlink" <-- BAD
Try using a pathname that contains only Latin alphabet characters
(for reference, the original chars of the volume-name are Thai: \u0e40
\u0e21\u0e48\u0e19). If necessary, create and mount a disk-image in
order to get only Latin chars.
Also, please show the code that assigns a value to pat1. How that
pathname is determined may have a bearing on the problem.
Finally, I'm a little puzzled why stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:
should be needed. Maybe the problem lies with the pathname itself,
and trimming its whitespace turns it into a pathname that doesn't
exist. For visibility, you might want to display every char of the
original pat1 that's outside the range 0x21-0x7E as a \Uxxxx value.
There may also be an encoding you could use, non-lossy ASCII.
You should be able to do a file-system function on the standardized
pathname pat3 and have it tell you it's a symlink (e.g. stat()). If
there's no file-system object for the pathname, then that tells you
something.
