Is there some reason you're not using built-in support to properly escape strings that are part of URLs? NSString* mapType = @"hybrid"; NSString* location = @"39.7452,-104.98916(Test point label)"; mapquestURLString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://mapq.st/?maptype=%@&q=%@";, [mapType stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding], [location stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
