nsstring

I need to convert NSString in unicode to NSString in ASCII changing all local characters: Ą to A, Ś to S, Ó to O, ü to u, And so on... What is the simplest way to do it? -[NSString dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES] . All of the examples you gave are handled as you want. Looks like characters with no obvious analog, such as ☃, go to '?'. NSString *unicode = @"Chào mừng đến với Việt Nam."; NSString *standard = [unicode stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"đ" withString:@"d"]; standard = [standard stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"Đ" withString:@"D"]; NSData

Just started learning Swift, I have got my code to read from the text file, and the App displays the content of the Entire Text file.

Banana Apple pear strawberry blueberry blackcurrent the following is what currently have.. if let path = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("TextFile", ofType: "txt"){ var data = String(contentsOfFile:path, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding, error: nil) if let content = (data){ TextView.text = content } also if there is another way, of doing this please

Hi I am woundering if you can check to see if a NSString equals a specific value say for instance a name of a person? I am thinking along the lines of if (mystring == @"Johns"){ //do some stuff in here } Vanya if ([mystring isEqualToString:@"Johns"]){ //do some stuff in here } Here is another method you might want to use in some circumstances: NSArray * validNames = @[ @"foo" , @"bar" , @"bob" ]; if ([validNames indexOfObject:myString].location != NSNotFound) { // The myString is one of the names in the valid names array } Or if you have a large amount of names in the array you could use a

I'm trying to filter an array according to one of it's string fields. Both nameLower and filterLower has NSString value inside, and yet i keep getting: __NSCFString containsString:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7f876b79e160 -(void) filterFriendsArray:(NSString*)filter { [_filteredFriendsArray removeAllObjects]; for (FacebookUser* user in _friendsArray) { NSString* nameLower = [user.user.name lowercaseString]; NSString* filterLower = [filter lowercaseString]; if ([nameLower containsString:filterLower]) [_filteredFriendsArray addObject:user]; } _displayedFriendsArray =

I'm writing a property list to be in the resources bundle of my application. An NSString object in the plist needs to have line-breaks in it. I tried \n , but that doesn't work. What do I do to have newlines in my string in the plist? Thanks. If you're editing the plist in Xcode's inbuild plist editor, you can press option-return to enter a line break within a string value. I found a simpler solution: NSString *newString = [oldString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"\\n" withString:@"\n"]; It seems the string reader escapes all characters that need to be escaped such that the text from

Is there any way to create a new NSString from a format string like @"xxx=%@, yyy=%@" and a NSArray of objects? In the NSSTring class there are many methods like: - (id)initWithFormat:(NSString *)format arguments:(va_list)argList - (id)initWithFormat:(NSString *)format locale:(id)locale arguments:(va_list)argList + (id)stringWithFormat:(NSString *)format, ... but non of them takes a NSArray as an argument, and I cannot find a way to create a va_list from a NSArray... Peter N Lewis It is actually not hard to create a va_list from an NSArray. See Matt Gallagher's excellent article on the subject
