I have a weird issue, were I need to add "" after '=' symbol in nsstring. Below is the example

NSString *codes = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",sessionToken];
NSString *slash = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"auth session_token=%@",codes]; << here I have to add the "".

i have tried with

NSString *slash = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"auth session_token=\"%@\"",codes];

but it didn't work the result is showing like this \"value\".

    have you tried [NSString stringWithFormat:@"auth session_token=\"%@\"\"",codes]; ? – Pfitz May 29 '12 at 15:06

    When you say 'it's showing like `\"value\"`' how are you showing it? If it's in the debugger or as part of an NSLog of some larger object (e.g. a dictionary) you, the logging system sometimes puts the backslashes in. – JeremyP May 29 '12 at 15:35
  • @JeremyP, Yes it is showing in the debugger. Since my service has the header tag as `auth session_token="Token"`, so it is not matching since I am getting my token dynamically, I have to use the previous mentioned way i.e. `[NSString stringWithFormat:@"auth session_token=\"%@\"\"",codes]` – Santosh Gurram May 29 '12 at 18:21

A backslash(\) followed by a quotation mark(") will inserts the quotation mark into NSString. 

NSString *slash = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"auth session_token=\"%@\"",@"1233"];
NSLog(@"slash %@", slash);

Output is 

[23273:a0f] slash auth session_token="1233"

Is it possible to include a quotation mark as part of an nsstring?

try this:

NSString *slash = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"auth session_token=""""""",codes];

I've recently done some thing similar and this seemed to work for me
