NSString with \n or line break

Question

Does anyone know how to use line breaks in NSString? I need to do something like this -

[NSString stringWithFormat:@\"%@,\\n%@\", mystring1,mystring2];


        

Answer 1

try this ( stringWithFormat has to start with lowercase)

 [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@\n%@",string1,string2];

Answer 2

I just ran into the same issue when overloading -description for a subclass of NSObject. In this situation I was able to use carriage return (\r) instead of newline (\n) to create a line break.

[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@\r%@", mystring1,mystring2];

Answer 3

In Swift 3, its much simpler

let stringA = "Terms and Conditions"
let stringB = "Please read the instructions"

yourlabel.text =  "\(stringA)\n\(stringB)"

or if you are using a textView

yourtextView.text =  "\(stringA)\n\(stringB)"

Answer 4

Line breaks character for NSString is \r

correct way to use [NSString StringWithFormat:@"%@\r%@",string1,string2];

\r ----> carriage return
