Hi there.

I have an NSData object which I am trying to turn into an NSString using the following line of code:

NSString *theData = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:photo encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];

Unfortunately I am getting the following result, instead of my desired binary output (can I expect a binary output here?);

ÿØÿà

I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks. Ricky.
