I am getting response from web-service like this
Result = (
(
"Test1",
"Test2",
"Test3",
"Test4",
Test5
)
);
By, [dict objectForKey:#"Result"]; I am getting value
(
"Test1",
"Test2",
"Test3",
"Test4",
Test5
)
So, how can I get values in array format from NSSting format.
For eg. Array :- Test1, Test2, Test3, Test4, Test5
Can anyone reply please.
Thanks in advance.
try This Code :
NSMutableArray* arrCountryName = (NSMutableArray *)[yourString componentsSeparatedByString: #","];
If you copied the printout exactly as formatted, it appears that the #"Result" key contains an array of arrays with a single element which is already the array that you wanr, so this should work for you:
NSArray *res = [[dict objectForKey:#"Result"] objectAtIndex:0];
The reason I think this is an array in an array is that it shows two levels of nested parentheses around the list.
Here you can use your inputString and generate the Array output as follows:
NSString *inputString = #"Test1,Test2,Test3,Test4";
NSMutableArray* outputArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
outputArray = [inputString componentsSeparatedByString: #","];
If you need any more help them let me know.
try this:
if([dict objectForKey:#"Result"] isKindofClass:[NSArray class]])
{
NSArray *arrValues = [dict objectForKey:#"Result"];
//u have your array
for(NSString *value in arrValues)
{
NSLog(#"%#",values);
}
}
NSString *separatorString = #",";
NSScanner *aScanner = [NSScanner scannerWithString:yourString];
NSString *thingsScanned;
[aScanner scanUpToString:separatorString intoString:&thingsScanned];
NSLog(#"container: %#", thingsScanned);

I have mutable string array named arrayout.
It is having 3 element .Now I want to add 1 String element that array.But when I try to add,it is taking null value....Cant get what to do...Please help...
My code is :
NSString *ds1 = #"--";
[arrayout arrayByAddingObject:ds1];
NSLog(#"arrrrr '%#'",arrayout);
Try this out:
NSString *ds1 = #"--";
[arrayout addObject:ds1];
NSLog(#"arrrrr '%#'",arrayout);
Hope this helps you.
You can also do it this way:
NSMutableArray *arrayout = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; // alloc here
[arrayout insertObject:#"SomeText Here" atIndex:[arrayout count]]; // insert here
NSLog(#"Appended Array: '%#'",arrayout); // Print here
this will populate arrayout with SomeText Here.
Hope it helps!
Why are you concatenating strings like this ? You can just do something simple like
NSString* newString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/%#/%#", string1, string2, string3];
I have an NSMutableArray that looks like this
{
"#active" = false;
"#name" = NAME1;
},
{
"#active" = false;
"#name" = NAME2;
}
Is there a way to convert this to an NSDictionary and then use objectForKey to get an array of the name objects? How else can I get these objects?
There is a even shorter form then this proposed by Hubert
NSArray *allNames = [array valueForKey:#"name"];
valueForKey: on NSArray returns a new array by sending valueForKey:givenKey to all it elements.
From the docs:
valueForKey:
Returns an array containing the results of invoking
valueForKey: using key on each of the array's objects.
- (id)valueForKey:(NSString *)key
Parameters
key The key to retrieve.
Return Value
The value of the retrieved key.
Discussion
The returned array contains NSNull elements for each object that returns nil.
Example:
NSArray *array = #[#{ #"active": #NO,#"name": #"Alice"},
#{ #"active": #NO,#"name": #"Bob"}];
NSLog(#"%#\n%#", array, [array valueForKey:#"name"]);
result:
(
{
active = 0;
name = Alice;
},
{
active = 0;
name = Bob;
}
)
(
Alice,
Bob
)
If you want to convert NSMutableArray to corresponding NSDictionary, just simply use mutableCopy
NSMutableArray *phone_list; //your Array
NSDictionary *dictionary = [[NSDictionary alloc] init];
dictionary = [phone_list mutableCopy];
This is an Array of Dictionary objects, so to get the values you would:
[[myArray objectAtIndex:0]valueForKey:#"name"]; //Replace index with the index you want and/or the key.
This is example one of the exmple get the emplyee list NSMutableArray and create NSMutableDictionary.......
NSMutableArray *emloyees = [[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithObjects:#"saman",#"Ruchira",#"Rukshan",#"ishan",#"Harsha",#"Ghihan",#"Lakmali",#"Dasuni", nil];
NSMutableDictionary *dict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
for (NSString *word in emloyees) {
NSString *firstLetter = [[word substringToIndex:1] uppercaseString];
letterList = [dict objectForKey:firstLetter];
if (!letterList) {
letterList = [NSMutableArray array];
[dict setObject:letterList forKey:firstLetter];
}
[letterList addObject:word];
} NSLog(#"dic %#",dict);
yes you can
see this example:
NSDictionary *responseDictionary = [[request responseString] JSONValue];
NSMutableArray *dict = [responseDictionary objectForKey:#"data"];
NSDictionary *entry = [dict objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *num = [entry objectForKey:#"num"];
NSString *name = [entry objectForKey:#"name"];
NSString *score = [entry objectForKey:#"score"];
im sorry if i can't elaborate much because i am also working on something
but i hope that can help you. :)
No, guys.... the problem is that you are stepping on the KeyValue Mechanism in cocoa.
KeyValueCoding specifies that the #count symbol can be used in a keyPath....
myArray.#count
SOOOOOO.... just switch to the ObjectForKey and your ok!
NSMutableDictionary *myDictionary = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:#"theValue", #"#name", nil];
id kvoReturnedObject = [myDictionary valueForKey:#"#name"]; //WON'T WORK, the # symbol is special in the valueForKey
id dictionaryReturnedObject = [myDictionary objectForKey:#"#name"];
NSLog(#"object = %#", dictionaryReturnedObject);
I'm trying to do something like this ..
NSString *string = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Hello World"];
NSArray *array = [NSArray arrayWithObject:string];
[uitextviewOutlet setText:[NSArray arrayWithArray:array]];
and I'd like for that to show up on my uitextviewOutlet window, which is an object of UITextView that will print out text.
The code works if I straight out send the uitextviewOutlet object the setText message and if it takes string as the parameter, but it won't take the array.
is there a way to have it take an array?
TIA.
You can join the elements with, let's say a comma like this: NSString *joinedString = [array1 componentsJoinedByString:#","];
Edit_: I'm not a friend of "Do it for me", but here you go:
NSString *string = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Hello World"];
NSArray *array = [NSArray arrayWithObject:string];
[uitextviewOutlet setText:[array componentsJoinedByString:#","]];
By the way, your code makes no sense, or do you fill up the array with more than just one value?
You can convert an array to a string with -componentsJoinedByString: as in #BjörnKaiser`s example. Or for more flexibility you can do:
NSString *string = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Hello World"];
NSArray *array = [NSArray arrayWithObject:string];
for (NSString *araryItem in array) {
[uitextviewOutlet replaceRange:NSMakeRange(uitextviewOutlet.text.length, 0) withText:#"foo\n"];
[uitextviewOutlet replaceRange:NSMakeRange(uitextviewOutlet.text.length, 0) withText:arrayItem];
}
I have and array of many strings.
I wan't to sort them into a dictionary, so all strings starting the same letter go into one array and then the array becomes the value for a key; the key would be the letter with which all the words in it's value's array begin.
Example
Key = "A" >> Value = "array = apple, animal, alphabet, abc ..."
Key = "B" >> Value = "array = bat, ball, banana ..."
How can I do that?
Thanks a lot in advance!
NSArray *list = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"apple, animal, bat, ball", nil];
NSMutableDictionary *dict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
for (NSString *word in list) {
NSString *firstLetter = [[word substringToIndex:1] uppercaseString];
NSMutableArray *letterList = [dict objectForKey:firstLetter];
if (!letterList) {
letterList = [NSMutableArray array];
[dict setObject:letterList forKey:firstLetter];
}
[letterList addObject:word];
}
NSLog(#"%#", dict);
You can achieve what you want through the following steps:
Create an empty but mutable dictionary.
Get the first character.
If a key for that character does not exist, create it.
Add the word to the value of the key (should be an NSMutableArray).
Repeat step #2 for all keys.
Here is the Objective-C code for these steps. Note that I am assuming that you want the keys to be case insensitive.
// create our dummy dataset
NSArray * wordArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"Apple",
#"Pickle", #"Monkey", #"Taco",
#"arsenal", #"punch", #"twitch",
#"mushy", nil];
// setup a dictionary
NSMutableDictionary * wordDictionary = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
for (NSString * word in wordArray) {
// remove uppercaseString if you wish to keys case sensitive.
NSString * letter = [[word substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(0, 1)] uppercaseString];
NSMutableArray * array = [wordDictionary objectForKey:letter];
if (!array) {
// the key doesn't exist, so we will create it.
[wordDictionary setObject:(array = [NSMutableArray array]) forKey:letter];
}
[array addObject:word];
}
NSLog(#"Word dictionary: %#", wordDictionary);
Take a look at this topic, they solves almost the same problem as you — filtering NSArray into a new NSArray in objective-c Let me know if it does not help so I will write for you one more code sample.
Use this to sort the contents of array in alphabetical order, further you design to the requirement
[keywordListArr sortUsingSelector:#selector(localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare:)];
I just wrote this sample. It looks simple and does what you need.
NSArray *names = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"Anna", #"Antony", #"Jack", #"John", #"Nikita", #"Mark", #"Matthew", nil];
NSString *alphabet = #"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUWXYZ";
NSMutableDictionary *sortedNames = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
for(int characterIndex = 0; characterIndex < 25; characterIndex++) {
NSString *alphabetCharacter = [alphabet substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(characterIndex, 1)];
NSArray *filteredNames = [names filteredArrayUsingPredicate:[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:#"SELF BEGINSWITH[C] %#", alphabetCharacter]];
[sortedNames setObject:filteredNames forKey:alphabetCharacter];
}
//Just for testing purposes let's take a look into our sorted data
for(NSString *key in sortedNames) {
for(NSString *value in [sortedNames valueForKey:key]) {
NSLog(#"%#:%#", key, value);
}
}
i have the text in a string as shown below
011597464952,01521545545,454545474,454545444|Hello this is were the message is.
Basically i would like each of the numbers in different strings to the message eg
NSString *Number1 = 011597464952
NSString *Number2 = 01521545545
etc
etc
NSString *Message = Hello this is were the message is.
i would like to have that split out from one string that contains it all
I would use -[NSString componentsSeparatedByString]:
NSString *str = #"011597464952,01521545545,454545474,454545444|Hello this is were the message is.";
NSArray *firstSplit = [str componentsSeparatedByString:#"|"];
NSAssert(firstSplit.count == 2, #"Oops! Parsed string had more than one |, no message or no numbers.");
NSString *msg = [firstSplit lastObject];
NSArray *numbers = [[firstSplit objectAtIndex:0] componentsSepratedByString:#","];
// print out the numbers (as strings)
for(NSString *currentNumberString in numbers) {
NSLog(#"Number: %#", currentNumberString);
}
Look at NSString componentsSeparatedByString or one of the similar APIs.
If this is a known fixed set of results, you can then take the resulting array and use it something like:
NSString *number1 = [array objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *number2 = [array objectAtIndex:1];
...
If it is variable, look at the NSArray APIs and the objectEnumerator option.
NSMutableArray *strings = [[#"011597464952,01521545545,454545474,454545444|Hello this is were the message is." componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:#",|"]] mutableCopy];
NString *message = [[strings lastObject] copy];
[strings removeLastObject];
// strings now contains just the number strings
// do what you need to do strings and message
....
[strings release];
[message release];
does objective-c have strtok()?
The strtok function splits a string into substrings based on a set of delimiters.
Each subsequent call gives the next substring.
substr = strtok(original, ",|");
while (substr!=NULL)
{
output[i++]=substr;
substr=strtok(NULL, ",|")
}
Here's a handy function I use:
///Return an ARRAY containing the exploded chunk of strings
///#author: khayrattee
///#uri: http://7php.com
+(NSArray*)explodeString:(NSString*)stringToBeExploded WithDelimiter:(NSString*)delimiter
{
return [stringToBeExploded componentsSeparatedByString: delimiter];
}
