I am using NSXMLParser, and when it reaches the it blows up. It breaks the text to pieces "THE REALSONG OF THIS VIDEOS IS REAL GONE, BUT FOR COPYRIGHTS RASONS.....YOUTUBE FORCE ME A CHANGE THE SONG :s Un peque" And next should be "ño" but it just quit the parsing there and further tags are being handled. :(

It always does with the ISO 8859 1 Character cames in )

Any quick idea ???

Thanks in Advance ..........

Answer 1

ñ is not ASCII (7-bit)! You need to use the proper charset to parse the XML, which looks like it would be UTF-8 in this case.
