iPhone UITextField Apostrophe issue

Question

There is a problem with posts in my UITextfield. Any time a word that has an apostrophe in it, it adds a backslash.

So my test post says in NSLog "I\\'m thinking there may be a problem with words that end in \\'s"

It should read: "I'm thinking there may be a problem with words that end in 's".

Answer 1

Sounds like escaping -- somewhere along the line, your data is being escaped. The problem isn't in the UITextField, it's in some other part of your code. Check what string is being sent to the field, you'll find that it's escaped there. Track your code back from there.
