using NSString + stringWithContentsOfFile:usedEncoding:error:

Question

I've got problem with use + stringWithContentsOfFile:usedEncoding:error:

My problem in usedEncoding:(NSStringEncoding *)enc I don't know how can i set pointer to encoding. If i make it - programm is fail.

For example, in similar function we have encoding:(NSStringEncoding)enc - without pointer!

I want loading file (file has encoding ISOLatin1) in NSString and use NSString as UTF8String.

how can i make it ?

thanks.

usedEncoding is a return value. From the documentation: > enc > Upon return, if the file is read successfully, contains the > encoding used to interpret the file at path. — Yngve Hammersland, Nov 27 '09 at 06:13

NSStringEncoding encoding;
NSError* error;
NSString* myString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:myFilePath usedEncoding:&encoding error:&error];

Except, the first variable type is spelled NSStringEncoding (no 'e') – Ben Bederson Aug 28 '10 at 18:37
