Very strange - %i didn't work for integer, %d did? - iphone

It was very strange when I saw this on debugging my application.
int iTag = btnTemp.tag; //btnTemp.tag = 1
NSString *strFriendID = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%i",iTag];
gave me strFriendID as empty string.
int iTag = btnTemp.tag; //btnTemp.tag = 1
NSString *strFriendID = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d",iTag];
gave me strFriendID as 1.
How can this happen?

i don't know why you get this answer, but when i read your question i tried in my project but i get the value
UIButton *btnTemp = [[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom] retain];
btnTemp.tag = 1;
int iTag = btnTemp.tag; //btnTemp.tag = 1
NSString *strFriendID = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%i",iTag];
NSLog(#"Str %#", strFriendID);
NSString *strFriendID1 = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d",iTag];
NSLog(#"Str %#", strFriendID1);
Out Put
2012-03-26 10:32:02.899 Leaves[506:f803] Str 1
2012-03-26 10:32:02.901 Leaves[506:f803] Str 1
both gives me 1

As per Apple:
%d, %D and %i all represent Signed 32-bit integers.
So yeah it's weird that %i didn't work but it's not so weird that %d worked.
Perhaps btnTemp.tag was null at that point

How to get desired String from whole

How to remove string from the original one
i.e. my string is,
series0001.0001
or
series0010.0101
or
series0110.0050
from this string I have to convert it to
expected result
Series 1 1
Series 10 101
Series 110 50
This is the code stuff which I am doing
NSArray * words = [sym.data componentsSeparatedByString:#"\r\n\r\n"];
NSLog(#"words are %#",words);
NSString *strSeriesAndLabelDetail = [words objectAtIndex:0];
NSLog(#"strSeriesAndLabelDetail is %#",strSeriesAndLabelDetail);
NSArray *wordsToSeparateSeriesAndLabel = [strSeriesAndLabelDetail componentsSeparatedByString:#"."];
NSLog(#"wordsSeriesLabel are %#",wordsToSeparateSeriesAndLabel);
strLabelNumber = [wordsToSeparateSeriesAndLabel objectAtIndex:1];
NSLog(#"strLabelNumber are %#",strLabelNumber);
strSeriesNumber = [wordsToSeparateSeriesAndLabel objectAtIndex:0];
NSLog(#"strSeriesNumber is %#",strSeriesNumber);
Current OutPut is:
words are (
"series0001.0003",
"Use the Sort-a-Cord app to read this code or visit www.sortacord.com to get your Sort-a-Cords."
)
strSeriesAndLabelDetail is series0001.0003
wordsSeriesLabel are (
series0001,
0003
)
strLabelNumber are 0003
strSeriesNumber is series0001
Can anybody help me out. Thanks in advance for any suggestion.
A way to do it:
NSString *stringToModify = #"series0110.0050";
stringToModify = [stringToModify stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"series" withString:#""];
NSArray *array = [stringToModify componentsSeparatedByString:#"."];
NSString *finalString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Series %d %d", [[array objectAtIndex:0] integerValue], [[array objectAtIndex:1] integerValue]];
NSLog(#"%#",finalString);
Note that it maybe modified according to what you really want. I assumed that you got always "series" to look for.

How to get integer value from Sqlite Database?

I am working with Sqlite Database.
In my database
I have some filed Like, Invoice,Name,Date
My Invoiceno datatype is INTEGER,
In Select query Got output like this.
Query:(
{
InvoiceNo = 1;
Name : ABC
Date = "2012-04-16 00:00:00";
}
)
But when try to Get that Invoice no to string it's given Diff. Value.
Code for getting invoice from array to String:
NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%i",[[Query objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] valueForKey:#"InvoiceNo"]];
NSLog(#"str:%#",str);
Here, My invoice no is 1, & It's give me a value "2387056"
Please, Help me..How can i solve this problem?
NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%i",[[Query objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] valueForKey:#"InvoiceNo"]];
NSLog(#"str:%#",str);
you have to replace above lines with below lines
NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%i",[[[Query objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] valueForKey:#"InvoiceNo"] intValue]];
NSLog(#"str:%#",str);
Convert NSString to int
NSString *values = #"1";
int yourValue = [values intValue];
NSLog(#"Int Value : %d",yourValue);

Add character or special character in NString?

I have an NSString *string=#"606" and I want to add a ":" colon after two digits.
The output should look like this: 6:06
It this is possible?
Help would be appropriated.
Thank you very much.
You can add the column between the hours and the minutes like this:
NSString *string = #"606";
NSString *result = [string stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:NSMakeRange(string.length-2, 0) withString:#":"];
NSLog(#"%#", result);
This will give the following results
#"606" => #"6:06"
#"1200" => #"12:00"
#"1406" => #"14:30"
Note: This will only work if the string has 3 or 4 characters, but this is the case according to your question.
Because you do not have two separate objects for hours and minutes, use:
NSString *newTimeString, *hour, *minute;
NSUInteger length = [timeString length];
if (length == 3)
{
hour = [timeString substringToIndex:1];
minute = [timeString substringFromIndex:2];
}
else
{
hour = [timeString substringToIndex:2];
minute = [timeString substringFromIndex:3];
}
newTimeString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#:%#", hour, minute];
I used a long version to illustrate the concept. Basically, use the length of the original string (timeString) to extract the time components and combine them with a colon.
Will it be 2 digits no matter what? Otherwise you could build your custom string from parameters.
NSString *string = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#:%#", hours, minutes];
UPDATE
If you just need to add a colon after 1 char, you can do it this way. Although I would suggest finding a safer method as this could be inaccurate if you have a double digit hour.
NSString *hour = [NSString substringToIndex:1]; // double check the index
NSString *min = [NSString substringFromIndex:1]; // double check the index
NSString *time = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#:%#", hour, min];
Hopefully this will help.

Unexpected result from "stringWithFormat:"

What would be the expected result from the following Objective C code?
int intValue = 1;
NSString *string = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%+02d", intValue];
I thought the value of string would be "+01", it turns out to be "+1". Somehow "0" in format string "+01" is ignored. Change code to:
int intValue = 1;
NSString *string = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%02d", intValue];
the value of string is now "01". It does generate the leading "0". However, if intValue is negative, as in:
int intValue = -1;
NSString *string = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%02d", intValue];
the value of string becomes "-1", not "-01".
Did I miss anything? Or is this a known issue? What would be the recommended workaround?
Thanks in advance.
#Mark Byers is correct in his comment. Specifying '0' pads the significant digits with '0' with respect to the sign '+/-'. Instead of '0' use dot '.' which pads the significant digits with '0' irrespective of the sign.
[... stringWithFormat:#"%+.2d", 1]; // Result is #"+01"
[... stringWithFormat:#"%.2d", -1]; // Result is #"-01"
NSString *string = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"+0%d", intValue];
NSString *string = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"-0%d", intValue];

String to double

I hope you can help me out with this 'small' problem. I want to convert a string to a double/float.
NSString *stringValue = #"1235";
priceLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d",[stringValue doubleValue]/(double)100.00];
I was hoping this to set the priceLabel to 12,35 but I get some weird long string meaning nothing to me.
I have tried:
priceLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d",[stringValue intValue]/(double)100.00];
priceLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d",[stringValue doubleValue]/100];
but all without success.
This is how to convert an NSString to a double
double myDouble = [myString doubleValue];
You have to use %f to show float/double value.
then %.2f means 2digits after dot
NSString *stringValue = #"1235";
NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%.2f",[stringValue doubleValue]/(double)100.00];
NSLog(#"str : %# \n\n",s);
priceLabel.text = str;
OUTPUT:
str : 12.35
I think you have the wrong format string. Where you have:
[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", ...];
You should really have:
[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f", ...];
%d is used for integer values. But you're trying to display a floating point number (%f).
