I have an editable uitextview in which the user types in Russian or English. I then save this text as a .txt file in the files directory, and read it later.
Here is the portion to save the text
-(IBAction)saveText:(id)sender{
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *path = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"testing.txt"];
[self.textBox.text writeToFile:path atomically:YES];
NSLog(path);
}
There is a separate button to display this text in a popover:
-(IBAction)readText:(id)sender{
NSString *documentsDirectory = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *filePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"testing.txt"];
NSError *error = nil;
myText = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:filePath encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:&error];
NSLog(@"myText: %@", myText);
self.textBox.text= myText;
}
with this declaration in the .h file
NSString *myText;
it works fine if I only type English, but if I type Russian characters then nothing saves/displays.
So, say I type "hello" it works, but ifI then type " some Russian phrase " to append self.textBox.text it doesn't work.
How can I make this Russian (or UTF8/charcode) compatible?
