Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

The strings and NSLog are working fine for me:

NSLog(@"\\"); // output is one backslash
NSLog(@"\\\\"); // output is two backslashes
NSLog(@"\\/Date(100034234)\\/"); // output is \/Date(100034234)\/

What am I missing?

Hi Gerry,Have you tried it?NSLog(@"\\/Date(1234534534)\\/"); outputs a double backslash for me.More importantly when i transmit that string over http the double backslash appears in the packet

It works for me (I copied the exact code from your comment). I am running iPhone SDK 3.1.2 and Xcode 3.2.1.

On my machine NSLog(@"\\ %@", [NSString stringWithFormat: @"\\n \\\\t"]) correctly outputs "\ \n \\t"

Gerry, I am using iPhone SDK 3.1.2 and XCode 3.1.4.The only difference in what I do is that I am saving my string to a pointer before displaying: NSString* dateString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"\\/Date(%ld +0000)\\/", (long)temp*1000];But I definetly get two backslashes

Craig Warren 2010-01-22 11:17:38

That code also works fine for me. I set temp to 2331 and the output was: \/Date(2331000 +0000)\/

Looks like it's something to do with the JSON parser I'm using... Oh Well thanks for your help. Always good to be challanged by someone until you realize you are wrong

No problem. I use TouchJSON, but I haven't tested it with escaped backslashes. I am pretty sure the guy that recommended it to me used ASP.NET on his web server.
