I have been trying to initialise a string from NSData
in Swift.
In the NSString Cocoa Documentation Apple is saying you have to use this:
init(data data: NSData!, encoding encoding: UInt)
However Apple did not include any example for usage or where to put the init
.
I am trying to convert the following code from Objective-C to Swift
NSString *string;
string = [[NSString alloc] initWithData: data encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding];
I have been trying a lot of possible syntaxes such as the following (of course it did not work):
var string:NSString!
string = init(data: fooData,encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
This is the implemented code needed:
var dataString = String(data: fooData, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8)
or just
var dataString = String(data: fooData, encoding: .utf8)
Older swift version:
in Swift 2.0:
import Foundation
var dataString = String(data: fooData, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
in Swift 1.0:
var dataString = NSString(data: fooData, encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding)
