if i have String "Life is Good". now i need to extract some words from that string which fits on width 40. how can achieve this from objective C ?
You can use the sizeWithFont: method in a loop, like this:
NSString *longestFitting = nil;
NSString *orig = "Life is Good";
UIFont *font = ...;
for (int i = orig.length-1 ; i > 1 ; i--) {
NSString *tmp = [orig substringToIndex:i];
if ([tmp sizeWithFont:font].width <= 40) {
longestFitting = tmp;
break;
}
}
your answer is correct but to fit exact 40 i have corrected <= to == so new code will be
NSString *longestFitting = nil;
NSString *orig = "Life is Good";
UIFont *font = ...;
for (int i = orig.length-1 ; i > 1 ; i--)
{
NSString *tmp = [orig substringToIndex:i];
if ([tmp sizeWithFont:font].width == 40)
{
longestFitting = tmp;
break;
}
}

I have an array of NSDictionary.NSDictionary has a key named as multiple_image key that contain string separated by ,.
I want set of array that contain 123.png for multiple_images key.
Can some one show me how to do this using NSPredicate or without predicate.
//Array
{
Image = "<UIImage: 0xf72df30>";
active = yes;
"admin_id" = 169;
"category_id" = 32;
"chef_id" = 175;
descr = "Cool tea to cool down the mind.";
id = 110;
"multiple_images" = "Jellyfish.jpg,345.png";
name = "Southern Sweet Ice Tea";
price = 160;
rating = 3;
selected = 0;
"subcat_id" = 23;
"tag_id" = 45;
"tax_id" = 10;
"tax_value" = "12.00";
},
{
Image = "<UIImage: 0xf72ebd0>";
active = yes;
"admin_id" = 169;
"category_id" = 31;
"chef_id" = 175;
descr = "Ingredients are almonds or cashews. No hydrogenated stuff, no extra weirdo ingredients";
id = 107;
"multiple_images" = "Jellyfish.jpg,123.png";
name = "Butter Chicken";
price = 300;
rating = 3;
selected = 0;
"subcat_id" = 24;
"tag_id" = 43;
"tax_id" = 9;
"tax_value" = "0.00";
},
{
Image = "<UIImage: 0xf72f870>";
active = yes;
"admin_id" = 169;
"category_id" = 31;
"chef_id" = 173;
descr = "Raw vegetables including carrots, cucumbers.";
id = 100;
"multiple_images" = "Jellyfish.jpg,shake.png,";
name = Salads;
price = 50;
rating = 3;
selected = 0;
"subcat_id" = 22;
"tag_id" = 44;
"tax_id" = 9;
"tax_value" = "0.00";
}
Using predicates,
[array filteredArrayUsingPredicate:[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:#"multiple_images CONTAINS '123'"]];
Using predicates, but with blocks
NSArray *filtered = [test filteredArrayUsingPredicate:[NSPredicate predicateWithBlock:
^BOOL(NSDictionary *evaluatedObject, NSDictionary * bindings) {
NSString *key = #"123";
return ([evaluatedObject[#"multiple_images"] rangeOfString:key].location != NSNotFound);
}]];
Try
NSDictionary *item = mainArray[0];
NSString *imagesString = item[#"multiple_images"];
NSArray *images = [imagesString componentsSeparatedByString:#","];
Now you can use the images
Try this code
for (int i=0; i<[mainArray count]; i++) {
NSDictionary *item = [mainArray objectAtIndex:i];
NSString *imagesString = item[#"multiple_images"];
NSArray *images = [imagesString componentsSeparatedByString:#","];
for (int j=0;j<[images count]; j++) {
if ([[images objectAtIndex:j] isEqualToString:#"123.png"]) {
///Your Required code;
}
}
}
So you want to save the dictionary that has 123.png.
maybe you can try something like this:
NSMutableArray *arr = [NSMutableArray new];// your array of objects(dictionaries)
__block NSMutableArray *images123 = [NSMutableArray new];
[arr enumerateObjectsUsingBlock:^(id obj, NSUInteger idx, BOOL *stop) {
NSMutableDictionary *dictionary = (NSMutableDictionary *)obj;
if([[dictionary allKeys]containsObject:#"multiple_images"]){
NSString *imageList = (NSString *)[dictionary objectForKey:#"multiple_images"];
NSArray *arrayImages = [imageList componentsSeparatedByString:#","];
if([arrayImages containsObject:#"123.png"]){
[images123 addObject:dictionary];
}
}
}];
my problem is pretty simple. I assign a value to string variable in xcode which looks like this:
ARAMAUBEBABRBGCNDKDEEEFO
and I need it like this:
AR,AM,AU,BE,BA,BR,BG,CN,DK,DE,EE,FO
The length is different in each variable.
thanx in advance
This function is usefull for numbers that need coma every thousands... which is what I wanted, hope it helps.
//add comas to a a string...
//example1: #"5123" = #"5,123"
//example2: #"123" = #"123"
//example3: #"123123123" = #"123,123,123"
-(NSString*) addComasToStringEvery3chrsFromRightToLeft:(NSString*) myString{
NSMutableString *stringFormatted = [NSMutableString stringWithFormat:#"%#",myString];
for(NSInteger i=[stringFormatted length]-3;i>0;i=i-3) {
if (i>0) {
[stringFormatted insertString: #"," atIndex: i];
}
}
return stringFormatted;
}
Try this:
int num;
NSMutableString *string1 = [NSMutableString stringWithString: #"1234567890"];
num = [string1 length];
for(int i=3;i<=num+1;i++) {
[string1 insertString: #"," atIndex: i];
i+=3;
}
NSString *yourString; // the string you want to process
int len = 2; // the length
NSMutableString *str = [NSMutableString string];
int i = 0;
for (; i < [yourString length]; i+=len) {
NSRange range = NSMakeRange(i, len);
[str appendString:[yourString substringWithRange:range]];
[str appendString:#","];
}
if (i < [str length]-1) { // add remain part
[str appendString:[yourString substringFromIndex:i]];
}
// str now is what your want
This would work well when your string is not very large:
NSString * StringByInsertingStringEveryNCharacters(NSString * const pString,
NSString * const pStringToInsert,
const size_t n) {
NSMutableString * const s = pString.mutableCopy;
for (NSUInteger pos = n, advance = n + pStringToInsert.length; pos < s.length; pos += advance) {
[s insertString:pStringToInsert atIndex:pos];
}
return s.copy;
}
If the string is very large, you should favor to compose it without insertion (append-only).
(define your own error detection)
I'm trying to create a "wrapping" like effect for text around an image that has set dimensions.

Here is the method im using right now:
- (NSArray *)splitString:(NSString*)str maxCharacters:(NSInteger)maxLength { //this will split the string to add to two UILabels
NSMutableArray *tempArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:1];
NSArray *wordArray = [str componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceCharacterSet]];
NSInteger numberOfWords = [wordArray count];
NSInteger index = 0;
NSInteger lengthOfNextWord = 0;
while (index < numberOfWords) {
NSMutableString *line = [NSMutableString stringWithCapacity:1];
while ((([line length] + lengthOfNextWord + 1) <= maxLength) && (index < numberOfWords)) {
lengthOfNextWord = [[wordArray objectAtIndex:index] length];
[line appendString:[wordArray objectAtIndex:index]];
index++;
if (index < numberOfWords) {
[line appendString:#" "];
}
}
[tempArray addObject:line];
}
return tempArray;
}
I give it the maxCharacters value of where I want to split the text, which is the max height of the first UILabel. This method is essentially what I want, but sometimes the last line of the first UILabel is "higher" than others leaving a gap between the first UILabel and the second UILabel.
Here is how I use the method:
NSArray *splitStringArray = [self splitString:eventRecord.summary maxCharacters:280];
UILabel *firstSumValue = [[UILabel alloc] init];
NSString *firstSumString = [splitStringArray objectAtIndex:0];
CGSize maxFirstSumSize = CGSizeMake(185.0,150.0);
UIFont *firstSumFont = [UIFont fontWithName:#"HelveticaNeue-Bold" size:12];
CGSize firstSumStringSize = [firstSumString sizeWithFont:firstSumFont
constrainedToSize:maxFirstSumSize
lineBreakMode:firstSumValue.lineBreakMode];
CGRect firstSumFrame = CGRectMake(10.0, presentedValue.frame.origin.y + presentedValue.frame.size.height, 185.0, firstSumStringSize.height);
firstSumValue.frame = firstSumFrame;
firstSumValue.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"HelveticaNeue" size:12];
firstSumValue.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
firstSumValue.numberOfLines = 0 ;
[self.mainScrollView addSubview:firstSumValue];
firstSumValue.text = [splitStringArray objectAtIndex:0];
UILabel *secondSumValue = [[UILabel alloc] init];
NSInteger isSecond = 0; //no
if([splitStringArray count] > 1){
isSecond = 1; //yes
NSString *secondSumString = [splitStringArray objectAtIndex:1];
CGSize maxSecondSumSize = CGSizeMake(310.0,9999.0);
UIFont *secondSumFont = [UIFont fontWithName:#"HelveticaNeue-Bold" size:12];
CGSize secondSumStringSize = [secondSumString sizeWithFont:secondSumFont
constrainedToSize:maxSecondSumSize
lineBreakMode:secondSumValue.lineBreakMode];
CGRect secondSumFrame = CGRectMake(10.0, firstSumValue.frame.origin.y + firstSumValue.frame.size.height, 310.0, secondSumStringSize.height);
secondSumValue.frame = secondSumFrame;
secondSumValue.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"HelveticaNeue" size:12];
secondSumValue.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
secondSumValue.numberOfLines = 0 ;
[self.mainScrollView addSubview:secondSumValue];
secondSumValue.text = [splitStringArray objectAtIndex:1];
}
How do I keep everything consistent and aligned properly. Perhaps, there is a better method one could recommend. Not core text because it's out of my scope of knowledge.
Consider using a UIWebView instead, with the layout defined in a local HTML file. It can save you a lot of headache rather than trying to deal with complex layouts by hand.
Is there a way to get the visible part of text in word wrapped UILabel? I mean exactly the last visible character?
I'd like to make two labels rounding the image and would like to continue the text which was out of rect for first label on the second one.
I know [NSString sizeWithFont...] but are there something reversing like [NSString stringVisibleInRect: withFont:...] ? :-)
Thank you in advance.
You could use a category to extend NSString and create the method you mention
#interface NSString (visibleText)
- (NSString*)stringVisibleInRect:(CGRect)rect withFont:(UIFont*)font;
#end
#implementation NSString (visibleText)
- (NSString*)stringVisibleInRect:(CGRect)rect withFont:(UIFont*)font
{
NSString *visibleString = #"";
for (int i = 1; i <= self.length; i++)
{
NSString *testString = [self substringToIndex:i];
CGSize stringSize = [testString sizeWithFont:font];
if (stringSize.height > rect.size.height || stringSize.width > rect.size.width)
break;
visibleString = testString;
}
return visibleString;
}
#end

i'm trying to build a function that will tell me the range of a string at an occurrence.
For example if I had the string "hello, hello, hello", I want to know the range of hello at it's, lets say, third occurrence.
I've tried building this simple function, but it doesn't work.
Note - the top functions were constructed at an earlier date and work fine.
Any help appreciated.

NSRange tempRange = [string rangeOfString:substring];

}
Instead of trimming the string a bunch of times (slow), just use rangeOfString:options:range:, which searches only within the range passed as its third argument. See Apple's documentation.
So try:
- (NSRange)rangeOfString:(NSString *)substring
inString:(NSString *)string
atOccurence:(int)occurence
{
int currentOccurence = 0;
NSRange rangeToSearchWithin = NSMakeRange(0, string.length);
while (YES)
{
currentOccurence++;
NSRange searchResult = [string rangeOfString: substring
options: NULL
range: rangeToSearchWithin];
if (searchResult.location == NSNotFound)
{
return searchResult;
}
if (currentOccurence == occurence)
{
return searchResult;
}
int newLocationToStartAt = searchResult.location + searchResult.length;
rangeToSearchWithin = NSMakeRange(newLocationToStartAt, string.length - newLocationToStartAt);
}
}
You need to rework the whole code. While it may seem to work, it's poor coding and plain wrong, like permanently reassigning the same variable, initializing but reassigning one line later, releasing after returning (which will never work).
For your question: Just use rangeOfString:options:range:, and do this the appropriate number of times while just incrementing the starting point.
