How do i replace spaces with +'s in Xcode

Question

I am building an app with a lot of urls being called from a MySQL server.

What I need to do for my app is take the textfield text and send it (which i already know how to do) BUT i need to replace the spaces with + (pluses)

What you *probably* need to do is URL encode the text, not take a piecemeal approach where you encode spaces as + signs, then find the next character that's also illegal. I've found a [blog post](http://madebymany.com/blog/url-encoding-an-nsstring-on-ios) that describes doing so under iOS. — Damien_The_Unbeliever, Sep 02 '11 at 13:51
@Damien_The_Unbeliever I +1'd you because you're right about the URL encoding, but you should provide an answer here in addition to linking to the blog post =) — Cameron Spickert, Sep 02 '11 at 14:08

Try with the string method - (NSString *)stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:(NSString *)target withString:(NSString *)replacement;

str=[str stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@"+"];

This is what you want, except you want to replace it with a @"+", not a @"". – Daniel G. Wilson Sep 02 '11 at 13:58
