How to get the proper URL from this tag value?

Question

How to get the proper url link from the tag value. I have used NSXMLParser for parsing and parsed content successfully but stucked with the url value like:

<value> http://example.site.com/%3Ca%20href%3D%22/taxonomy/term/3%22%3ETheater%3C/a%3E </value>

I have tried with some string replacement operation but not any good result.

How i format that string value and get the exact url string.

Thanks in advance :)

Why do you want to do that? Ultimately if you want to hit it you again have to convert it. — Inder Kumar Rathore, Jul 22 '13 at 14:52
i have to show it also and the unwanted character shouldn't be there — Batman4Ever, Jul 22 '13 at 14:54

Try this

NSString *value = @"http://example.site.com/%3Ca%20href%3D%22/taxonomy/term/3%22%3ETheater%3C/a%3E";


NSString *formattedValue = [value stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSArray *array = [formattedValue componentsSeparatedByString:@"<a"];
NSLog(@"%@",[array objectAtIndex:0]);
