Re: Re: [Q] How can I repair file name with wrong encoding?

Hi,

I've used this code, but it does not work;

   if ([self canBeConvertedToEncoding:_KoreanInWindows]) {
       NSData *newData = [self dataUsingEncoding:_KoreanInWindows];
       NSString *newString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:newData encoding:_KoreanInWindows];
       return [newString autorelease];
   }

It seems that when Finder unzips the zip file from Windows(which
have files of CP949 encoded filename), it does not make unzipped
file name as byte-by-byte equally as CP949; it does use some kind
of unknown transformation of encoded name. For example original
file A has name "CP949NAME", after unzip it has name "UNKNOWNAME".
So I cannot directly convert from CP949 to UTF-8. I have to reconstrcut
"CP949NAME" from "UNKNOWNAME". (CP949NAME and UNKNOWNAE" is
just example not real case :-).

Thanks in advance.

Are you looking to do this in code?  You can use the NSString encoding
options to convert the CP949 string into a UTF-8 string, and then
rename the file using NSWorkspace.
