Hi Laurent- Certainly. I've zipped up two classes that wrap some functionality from the Text Conversion Manager functions. I'm certain I got these from somewhere else years ago, but failed to find them now. Download at:
http://www.positivespinmedia.com/dev/TEC.zip Usage looks something like this: NSInteger i = 0; NSString *myResultantString = nil; TECSniffer *sniffer = [[TECSniffer alloc] initWithWebTextEncodings]; NSArray *results = [sniffer sniff:yourNSDataObjectGoesHere]; while(!myResultantString && i < [results count]){ myResultantString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:yourNSDataObjectGoesHere encoding:[[results objectAtIndex:i] unsignedIntValue]]; i++; } // ideally, you've got a legitimate NSString object when the above is finished If memory serves, you'll need to link CoreServices into your app to use TEC. Hope this helps!
