NSString: newline escape in plist

Question

I\'m writing a property list to be in the resources bundle of my application. An NSString object in the plist needs to have line-breaks in it. I tried \\n

Answer 1

I found a simpler solution:

NSString *newString = [oldString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"\\n" withString:@"\n"];

It seems the string reader escapes all characters that need to be escaped such that the text from the plist is rendered verbatim. This code effectively drops the extra escape.
