i want to look up cities for a weather application. iOS [Swift] The webservice has a built in accuracy search, so i just have to pass the string to the url.

var searchedCity:String = searchBar.text
searchedCity = searchedCity.stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString(" ", withString: "_", options: NSStringCompareOptions.LiteralSearch, range: nil)

The 2nd line will change the space characters to underscore characters:

" " -> "_" example: ( Los Angeles to Los_Angeles )

Thats fine, but how can i replace all the special characters to english characters, or URL acceptable characters.

example characters to replace: áéíöóőüúű to aeiooouuu

Or, if there is any other way to force the keyboard to use only english characters, please let me know.

Thanks for the help!

Have you looked at url encoding/decoding?
