xcode iOS compare strings

Question

How do i compare a website result with a predicted result.

@\"document.getElementsByTagName(\'body\')[0].outerHTML\"

is predicted to contai

Answer 1

for Swift 4.0:

if str1==str2 {
    //both string are equal 
}

else {
    //do something expression not true 
}

for Objective-C:

if ([str1 isEqualToString:str2]) {
    //both string are equal 
}

else {
    //do something expression not true 
}

Answer 2

if (webresult == cmp)

Here, == checks whether webresult, cmp are pointing to the same reference or not. You should instead compare value of the object by using NSString::isEqualToString.

 if ( [ cmp isEqualToString:webresult ]) {
   // ..
 }else {
   // ..
 }

Note that isEqualToString is a good option because it returns boolean value.

Answer 3

I assume that webresult is an NSString. If that is the case, then you want to use:

if ([webresult isEqualToString:cmp]) {

instead of:

if (webresult == cmp) {

as the above method checks if the strings are equal character by character, whereas the bottom method checks if the two strings are the same pointer. Hope that helps!

Answer 4

We cannot comapre the strings with ==
We have to use isEqualToString:

if([str1 isEqualToString:str2])
{
}
else
{
}

Answer 5

When comparing strings you need to use isEqualToString:

if ([cmp isEqualToString:webresult]) {
   ...
} else {
   ...
}
