this is what i want to retrieve from that xml file using CXML parsing method
the first 3 title are successfully retrived but when it comes at 4th it gives me error in my console like this
Entity: line 80: parser error : Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding !

^
this is my retrieving code:
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
CXMLDocument *xmlParser = [[[CXMLDocument alloc] initWithData:data options:0 error:nil] autorelease];
NSArray *resultNodes = [xmlParser nodesForXPath:#"//premio" error:nil];
for (CXMLElement *resultElement in resultNodes) {
for (int j=0; j<[resultElement childCount]; j++) {
NSString *tagName = [NSString stringWithString:[[resultElement childAtIndex:j] name]];
if ([tagName isEqualToString:#"sDescrizione"])
{
NSString *temp = [[resultElement childAtIndex:j] stringValue];
[catArray addObject:temp];
}
else if([tagName isEqualToString:#"idPremioSodexho"])
{
NSString *trmp = [[resultElement childAtIndex:j] stringValue];
}
}
}

Answer 1

Looks like the XML file is not in UTF-8 and CXMLDocument is assuming it is. When it hits the € sign its crashing. Set the correct encoding in the header of the XML file. If the XML file is encoded with ISO 8859-1 then set the header like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
This will allow CXMLDocument to correctly interpret the characters/codepage of your XML document.

I think you are facing the problem due to invalid Character-sets.
See, here is the line of code that you have used.
// when you don't specify any encoding, TouchXML will use NSUTF8Encoding as default
// which may lead to some problems
CXMLDocument *xmlParser = [[[CXMLDocument alloc] initWithData:data options:0 error:nil] autorelease];
// So, I recommend you to use following line of code, which may not lead you with messy situations.
CXMLDocument *doc = [[CXMLDocument alloc] initWithData:[request responseData] encoding:[request responseEncoding] options:0 error:nil];
