Get currently typed word in a UITextView

Question

I want to get the currently typed word in a UITextView. A way to get a completely typed word can be found here UITEXTVIEW: Get the recent word typed in uitextvi

Answer 1

Your range parameter from the - (BOOL)textView:(UITextView *)textView shouldChangeTextInRange:(NSRange)range replacementText:(NSString *)text delegate method points at the exact place you change the UITextView string value.

The location property of the structure points to the changing string index, that's simple. The length not usually equals to text.length, be careful, user may select characters from the string to replace it with another string.
