Hi all,

i am really new to cocoa. My Problem is:

i read from an sqltable an string including another sql-statement moving it into an NSString initWithUTF8. Later i want to send this statement to the database through sqlite3_prepare_v2

the sql looks like this:

SELECT
co.idContactID,
co.sLastName + ', ' + co.sFirstName + CASE WHEN CHARINDEX('Dr.', sSuffix) > 0 THEN ', ' + sSuffix ELSE '' END AS sContactName,
cu.sName AS sCustomerName
FROM
maContacts AS co
LEFT OUTER JOIN
maCustomers AS cu
ON
co.idCustomerID = cu.idCustomerID
ORDER BY
co.sLastname, co.sFirstname



i get an error on preparing because there are linefeed and c-style escapes like \n and \' and \t

is there any solution for encoding the string differently? i tried to remove \n by my own, that helps but there is still \' to remove. And there should be a more elegant solution.

thank for response
