Re: encoding problems

[reuss]

It is impossible to encode my string to latin2 because it contains characters 
appropriated to the latin1 encoding (it is a known problem of hungarian 
language before unicode). for that reason, I opted for reading to NSString to 
replace easaly the four characters that exist either in latin1 either in 
latin2, but with an apparence different. In NSData, I can't see any function 
that helps me to chunk as componentsSeparatedByString: in NSString.
