How do I check if a string contains another string in Objective-C?

Question

How can I check if a string (NSString) contains another smaller string?

I was hoping for something like:

NSString *string = @\"hello bla

Best solution. As simple as this! If you want to find a word or part of the string. You can use this code. In this example we are going to check if the value of word contains "acter".

NSString *word =@"find a word or character here";
if ([word containsString:@"acter"]){
    NSLog(@"It contains acter");
} else {
     NSLog (@"It does not contain acter");
}
