I have a serious problem about indexing in array. I've been working on this for 2 days and couldn't find answer yet.
I want to do that, search specific character in array then replace it with other string. I'm using replaceObjectAtIndex method but my code is doesn't work.
Here is my code;
NSString *commentText = commentTextView.text;
NSUInteger textLength = [commentText length];
NSString *atSign = #"#";
NSMutableArray *commentArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[commentArray addObject:commentText];
for (int arrayCounter=1; arrayCounter<=textLength; arrayCounter++)
{
NSRange isRange = [commentText rangeOfString:atSign options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch];
if(isRange.location != NSNotFound)
{
commentText = [commentText stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:commentText withString:atSign];
[_mentionsearch filtrele:_mentionText];
id<textSearchProtocol> delegate;
[delegate closeList:[[self.searchResult valueForKey:#"user_name"] objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
}
}
Ok, now i can find "#" sign in the text and i can match it. But this is the source of problem that, i can not replace any string with "#" sign. Here is the last part of code;
-(void)closeList
{
NSArray *arrayWithSign = [commentTextView.text componentsSeparatedByString:#" "];
NSMutableArray *arrayCopy = [arrayWithSign mutableCopy];
[arrayCopy replaceObjectAtIndex:isRange.location withObject:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"#%#",username]];
}
When im logging isRange.location value, it returns correct. But when im try to run, my application is crashing. So, i can not replacing [NSString stringWithFormat:#"#%#",username] parameter. How can i solve this problem?
If I understand correctly you want to change a substring in a string with a new string. In this case, why don't you use directly the stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString method of NSString:
NSString *stringToBeChanged = #"...";
NSString *stringToBeChangedWith = #"...";
NSString *commentTextNew = [commentText stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:stringToBeChanged withString:stringToBeChangedWith];

I have an NSMutableArray that contains floats. I can display one float in a specific format or display all of them without formatting but I cannot figure out how to do both at once. I first wrap the float in an NSNumber so that it can be added to the array:
NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
NSNumber *num = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:5.10f];
[array addObject:num];
NSNumberFormatter works for formatting the numbers to be displayed in a textView. Here is the code I used to do that:
for (NSNumber *aNumber in array) {
self.textView.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#"
[NSNumberFormatter localizedStringFromNumber:aNumber
numberStyle:NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle]];
}
The obvious problem here is the text is replaced with the number in the array each time the loop runs rather than listing all of them.
So, I did more research and found componentsJoinedByString:
self.textView.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", [array componentsJoinedByString:#", "]];
This worked well to list them but lacked the formatting style: It displays, for example, 5.10 as 5.1 which I don't want. I tried to combine them somehow but it didn't work, and I also tried stringByAppendingString in the loop using the formatter but that was a mess that did not work at all.
You are replacing the text in the textView instead of appending..
for (NSNumber *aNumber in array) {
NSString *result = [NSNumberFormatter localizedStringFromNumber:aNumber
numberStyle:NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle];
if (aNumber == array.firstObject && !self.textView.text.length) {
self.textView.text = result;
}
else {
self.textView.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#, %#", self.textView.text, result];
}
}
I am dividing string and and storing it in splitArray and want to return it.
But I am getting conflicting array on the first line
- (NSArray *)subdividingString:(NSString *)string {
NSArray *splitArray = [string componentsSeparatedByString:#" "];
return splitArray;
}
First: there is nothing wrong with the code, but you are most likely having another issue (e.g. where you call subdividingString:).
Second: You shouldn't introduce a method that is exactly doing what another one is doing already. Just use
NSString *mystring = #"some string";
NSArray *chunks = [mystring componentsSeparatedByString:#" "];
I have a name textfield in my app, where both the firstname maybe a middle and a lastname is written. Now I want to split these components by the first whitespace, the space between the firstname and the middlename/lastname, so I can put it into my model.
For example:
Textfield Text: John D. Sowers
String 1: John
String 2: D. Sowers.
I have tried using [[self componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceCharacterSet]] firstObject]; & [[self componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceCharacterSet]] lastObject];
But these only work if have a name without a middlename. Since it gets the first and the last object, and the middlename is ignored.
So how would I manage to accomplish what I want?
/*fullNameString is an NSString*/
NSRange rangeOfSpace = [fullNameString rangeOfString:#" "];
NSString *first = rangeOfSpace.location == NSNotFound ? fullNameString : [fullNameString substringToIndex:rangeOfSpace.location];
NSString *last = rangeOfSpace.location == NSNotFound ? nil :[fullNameString substringFromIndex:rangeOfSpace.location + 1];
...the conditional assignment (rangeOfSpace.location == NSNotFound ? <<default value>> : <<real first/last name>>) protects against an index out of bounds error.
Well that method is giving you an array with all the words split by white space, so then you can grab the first object as the first name and the rest of the objects as middle/last/etc
NSArray *ar = [self componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceCharacterSet]];
NSString *firstName = [ar firstObject];
NSMutableString *rest = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
for(int i = 1; i < ar.count; i++)
{
[rest appendString:[ar objectAtIndex:i]];
[rest appendString:#" "];
}
//now first name has the first name
//rest has the rest
There might be easier way to do this, but this is one way..
Hope it helps

I think this example below I did, solves your problem.
Remember you can assign values from the array directly, without transforming into string.
Here is an example:
NSString *textField = #"John D. Sowers";
NSArray *fullName = [textField componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:#" "]];
if (fullName.count)
{
if (fullName.count > 2)
{
NSLog(#"Array has more than 2 objects");
NSString *name = fullName[0];
NSLog(#"Name:%#",name);
NSString *middleName = fullName[1];
NSLog(#"Middle Name:%#",middleName);
NSString *lastName = fullName[2];
NSLog(#"Last Name:%#",lastName);
}
else if(fullName.count == 2)
{
NSLog(#"Array has 2 objects");
NSString *name = fullName[0];
NSLog(#"Name:%#",name);
NSString *lastName = fullName[1];
NSLog(#"Last Name:%#",lastName);
}
else
{
NSString *name = fullName[0];
}
}
I found this to be most robust:
NSString *fullNameString = #"\n Barnaby Marmaduke \n \n Aloysius ";
NSMutableArray *nameArray = [[fullNameString componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]] mutableCopy];
[nameArray removeObject:#""];
NSString *firstName = [nameArray firstObject];
if(nameArray.count)
{
[nameArray removeObjectAtIndex:0];
}
NSString *nameRemainder = [nameArray componentsJoinedByString:#" "];
Bob's your uncle.
I have several NSStrings which I add to an NSArray. The string may contain special characters. In the end I want to print the array to a UILabel.
The very simplified code (if you think I missed something, let me know):
NSString *strBuffer = #"Röckdöts";
NSLog(#"String: %#", strBuffer);
NSMutableArray *marrSelectedStrings = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[marrSelectedStrings addObject:strBuffer];
NSLog(#"Array: %#", marrSelectedStrings);
NSUInteger iCount = [marrSelectedStrings count]
for (NSUInteger i = 0; i < iCount; i++)
{
NSLog(#"element %d: %#", i, [marrSelectedStrings objectAtIndex: i]);
}
In a different UIViewController:
self.label.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", marrSelectedStrings];
The string itself prints out fine. For the array however, it depends on the output method, whether the console diplays the correct special character or code for it. The label only prints code instead of the real characters. The print out via NSLog looks like the following:
Buffer: Röckdöts
Array: (
R\U00f6ckd\U00f6ts
)
element 0: Röckdöts
Whereas the label reads:
R\U00f6ckd\U00f6ts
I tried using stringWithUTF8String during the adding to the array as well as encoding during assigning it to the label like so, but it didn't change the result:
// adding with UTF8 encoding
[marrSelectedStrings addObject:[NSString stringWithUTF8String:[strBuffer UTF8String]]];
// printing to label with UTF8 encoding
self.label.text = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", marrSelectedStrings] UTF8String]];
Is there an easier way to simply print the array with correct character encoding to the UILabel than iterating over the array and appending every single word?
Try this
NSString * result = [[marrSelectedStrings valueForKey:#"description"] componentsJoinedByString:#""];
self.label.text = result;
try like this
NSMutableArray *marrSelectedStrings = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[marrSelectedStrings addObject:strBuffer];
NSString *description = [marrSelectedStrings description];
if (description) {
const char *descriptionChar = [description cStringUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
if (descriptionChar) {
NSString *prettyDescription = [NSString stringWithCString:descriptionChar encoding:NSNonLossyASCIIStringEncoding];
if (prettyDescription) {
description = prettyDescription;
}
}
}
NSLog(#"Array: %#", description);
I have a string Hello-World-Test, I want to split this string by the first dash only.
String 1:Hello
String 2:World-Test
What is the best way to do this? What I am doing right now is use componentsSeparatedByString, get the first object in the array and set it as String 1 then perform substring using the length of String 1 as the start index.
Thanks!
I added a category on NSString to split on the first occurrence of a given string. It may not be ideal to return the results in an array, but otherwise it seems fine. It just uses the NSString method rangeOfString:, which takes an NSString(B) and returns an NSRange showing where that string(B) is located.
#interface NSString (Split)
- (NSArray *)stringsBySplittingOnString:(NSString *)splitString;
#end
#implementation NSString (Split)
- (NSArray *)stringsBySplittingOnString:(NSString *)splitString
{
NSRange range = [self rangeOfString:splitString];
if (range.location == NSNotFound) {
return nil;
} else {
NSLog(#"%li",range.location);
NSLog(#"%li",range.length);
NSString *string1 = [self substringToIndex:range.location];
NSString *string2 = [self substringFromIndex:range.location+range.length];
NSLog(#"String1 = %#",string1);
NSLog(#"String2 = %#",string2);
return #[string1, string2];
}
}
#end
Use rangeOfString to find if split string exits and then use substringWithRange to create new string on bases of NSRange.
For Example :
NSString *strMain = #"Hello-World-Test";
NSRange match = [strMain rangeOfString:#"-"];
if(match.location != NSNotFound)
{
NSString *str1 = [strMain substringWithRange: NSMakeRange (0, match.location)];
NSLog(#"%#",str1);
NSString *str2 = [strMain substringWithRange: NSMakeRange (match.location+match.length,(strMain.length-match.location)-match.length)];
NSLog(#"%#",str2);
}
