how to get rid of heading and trailing white spaces from NSString

Question

My NSString is like this:

NSString *myString =  
(  
“\\n \\n 24 K CLUB”,  
“\\n \\n 3 DOLLAR CAFE”,  
“\\n \\n A PEACH OF A PARTY”,  
“\\n \\n A ROYAL AFFAI         


        

Answer 1

Your initial declaration of myString is declaring an NSArray, not a NSString. Your calls to stringByReplacingstringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString: withString: should work on the individual NSStrings. Either iterate the array yourself (see here) to trim the strings, or use makeObjectsPerformSelector: (see here) to handle it.

Answer 2

How about stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet: method? By stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet], it can remove both ends of whitespace and newline characters.
