Hi guys,
I'm having some trouble by trying to convert a C String to NSString, I'm

non-ascii from C String and them convert
The Shawn solution worked really well for me :)
In my case I'm hacking an Zip library that I'm using, this zip library has
problems when inside the zip the name of files are using crazy encodings...
In my case, all I need to know about the file name is it extension (this is

Yikes — you should never, ever use ‘%s’ with NSStrings, unless you’re certain
that the C string is 100% ASCII. The reason is that the
