I have an input string in the format
"Jerry Lane"(angle bracket)jerry.lane#gmail.com(bracket closed),"Harry Potter"(angle bracket)harry.potter#gmail.com(bracket closed),"Indiana Jones",(angle bracket)indiana.jones#gmail.com(bracket closed),"Tom Cruise"(angle bracket)tom.cruise#gmail.com(bracket closed)
Here, i am supposed to first separate the string on the basis of comma delimiter, which would give me a separate string like
"Jerry Lane"(angle bracket)jerry.lane#gmail.com(bracket closed)
Then i need to save extract the string between the <> brackets, which is essentially the string "jerry.lane#gmail.com". I am using the following code, but it is giving me the following error:
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSRangeException', reason: '-[__NSCFConstantString substringWithRange:]: Range or index out of bounds'
-(NSArray *)parseString:(NSString *)string
{
if(string)
{
NSArray *myArray = [string componentsSeparatedByString:#","];
for(NSMutableString *myString in myArray)
{
NSRange start,end;
start = [myString rangeOfString:#"<"];
end = [myString rangeOfString:#">"];
if(start.location != NSNotFound && end.location != NSNotFound)
{
NSString *emailAddress = [myString substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(start.location,end.location)];
NSString *name = [myString substringToIndex:start.location];
NSDictionary *myDictionary = [[NSDictionary alloc] init];
[myDictionary setValue:emailAddress forKey:#"Dhruvil Vyas"];
[testArray addObject:myDictionary];
}
}
}
return testArray;
}
The arguments that substring takes are the start position and the length
Not the start position and the end position.
More Info
borrrden's answer is correct. Here is another way to do this.
-(NSArray *)parseString:(NSString *)string
{
if(string)
{
NSArray *myArray = [string componentsSeparatedByString:#","];
for(NSMutableString *myString in myArray)
{
NSArray *tempNameArray = [myString componentsSeparatedByString:#"<"];
NSString *email = [tempNameArray objectAtIndex:1];
NSArray *tempMailArray = [email componentsSeparatedByString:#">"];
NSString *emailAddress = [tempMailArray objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *name = [tempNameArray objectAtIndex:0];
NSDictionary *myDictionary = [[NSDictionary alloc] init];
[myDictionary setValue:emailAddress forKey:#"Dhruvil Vyas"];
[testArray addObject:myDictionary];
}
}
return testArray;
}

I am fetching data from SQLite and want to get only the last value of column id in XCode.The code is
NSString *selquery = #"select id from watchlists";
if (self.uid != nil) {
self.uid = nil;
}
self.uid = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:[self.dbManager loadDataFromDB:selquery]];
NSString *valvar;
valvar = [_uid lastObject];
NSNumber *custval = [_uid valueForKey: #"#lastObject"];
NSString *imgval1 = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#_%s",custval,"1"];
NSLog(#"%#", imgval1);
Please tell me how can I get only the value because by using the above code I am getting array with last value of id.
I think this your case, try this it maybe help you
NSArray *temp=[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"1",#"2",#"3", nil];
NSArray *temp0ne=[[NSArray alloc]initWithArray:temp];
// NSString *tmmp=[temp0ne lastObject];
NSArray *finalStr=[uid lastObject];
NSLog(#"Dictionary is---->%#",[finalStr lastObject]);
Output:
3_1
EDIT
NSArray *temp=[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"(1)",#"(2)",#"(3)", nil];
NSArray *temp0ne=[[NSArray alloc]initWithArray:temp];
NSString *tmmp=[temp0ne lastObject];
NSString *final=[tmmp stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"(" withString:#""];
final=[final stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#")" withString:#""];
NSString *imgval1 = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#_%s",final,"1"];
NSLog(#"%#", imgval1);
I don't know is this correct way or not try this....otherwise have look this link
I don't fully understand your code structure hehe. Try this:
NSString *selquery = #"select id from watchlists";
if (self.uid != nil) {
self.uid = nil;
}
self.uid = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:[self.dbManager loadDataFromDB:selquery]];
NSNumber *custval = [_uid objectAtIndex:[_uid count]-1];
*
NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat#"%#",custval];
str = [str stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"("
withString:#""];
NSString *finalCustval = [NSString stringWithFormat#"%#",str];
finalCustval = [finalCustval stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#")"
withString:#""];
*
NSString *imgval1 = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#_%s",finalCustval ,"1"];
NSLog(#"%#", imgval1);
UPDATE
try adding the ones with *.
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 the next code for converting NSSet to string separating by comma:
-(NSString *)toStringSeparatingByComma
{
NSMutableString *resultString = [NSMutableString new];
NSEnumerator *enumerator = [self objectEnumerator];
NSString* value;
while ((value = [enumerator nextObject])) {
[resultString appendFormat:[NSString stringWithFormat:#" %# ,",value]];//1
}
NSRange lastComma = [resultString rangeOfString:#"," options:NSBackwardsSearch];
if(lastComma.location != NSNotFound) {
resultString = [resultString stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:lastComma //2
withString: #""];
}
return resultString;
}
It seems that it works, but I get here two warnings:
1. format string is not a string literal (potentially insecure)
2. incompatible pointer types assigning to nsmutablestring from nsstring
How to rewrite it to avoid of warnings?
There is another way to achieve what you are trying to do with fewer lines of code:
You can get an array of NSSet objects using:
NSArray *myArray = [mySet allObjects];
You can convert the array to a string:
NSString *myStr = [myArray componentsJoinedByString:#","];
stringByReplacingCharactersInRange method's return type NSString. You are assigning it to NSMutableString. Use mutable copy.
resultString = [[resultString stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:lastComma //2
withString: #""]mutablecopy]
I want to store the array of NSDictionary to a file. So I write a function to convert from NSArray to NSString. But I got a very strange problem. Here is my code.
+ (NSArray *)arrayForString:(NSString*)dataString
{
NSArray* stringArray = [dataString componentsSeparatedByString:ROW_SEPARATOR];
NSLog(#"%#", stringArray);
NSMutableArray* dictionaryArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:0];
for (int i = 0; i < [stringArray count]; i++)
{
NSString* string = [stringArray objectAtIndex:i];
NSLog(#"%#", string);
NSArray* subStrings = [string componentsSeparatedByString:COLUMN_SEPARATOR];
NSDictionary* dic = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:[subStrings objectAtIndex:0], PHOTO_NAME, [NSNumber numberWithUnsignedInt:[[subStrings objectAtIndex:1] unsignedIntValue]], PHOTO_SEQ_NO, nil];
[dictionaryArray addObject:dic];
}
return dictionaryArray;
}
Here is the log:
2012-05-05 23:57:35.113 SoundRecognizer[147:707] (
"new Photo/0",
"new Photo/1"
)
2012-05-05 23:57:35.118 SoundRecognizer[147:707] new Photo/0
2012-05-05 23:57:35.123 SoundRecognizer[147:707] -[__NSCFString unsignedIntValue]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x1d18c0
How do I get a #"-" from this following array?!
2012-05-05 23:57:35.113 SoundRecognizer[147:707] (
"new Photo/0",
"new Photo/1"
)
NSString doesn't have an unsignedIntValue method. Use intValue instead. But I'm not sure of the point of all this - you can write an array of dictionaries straight to a file anyway (as long as they only contain property list types) using writeToFile: atomically:.
So my textfield has the following text. #"A big Tomato is red."
I want to get the word before "is".
When I type
NSString *someString = [[textfield componentsSeparatedByString:#"is"]objectAtIndex:0];
I always get "A big Tomato" instead of just "Tomato". In the app people will type things before "is" so I need to always get the string before "is". I would appreciate any help I can get. *Warning,
This is a very difficult problem.
Try this,
NSString *value = #"A big Tomato is red.";
NSArray *array = [value componentsSeparatedByString:#" "];
if ([array containsObject:#"is"]) {
NSInteger index = [array indexOfObject:#"is"];
if (index != 0) {
NSString *word = [array objectAtIndex:index - 1];
NSLog(#"%#", word);
}
}
Try this
NSString *string = #"A big Tomato is red.";
if ([string rangeOfString:#"is"].location == NSNotFound) {
NSLog(#"string does not contain is");
} else {
NSLog(#"string contains is!");
}
try this
NSString *str = #"A big tomato is red";
NSArray *arr = [str componentsSeparatedByString:#" "];
int index = [arr indexOfObject:#"is"];
if(index > 1)
NSString *str_tomato = arr[index-1];
else
//"is" is the first word of sentence
