I have an array which contains strings like frame_10#3x.png , frame_5#3x.png,frame_19#3x.png etc.
So I want to sort this array according to the number after the underscore i.e. the correct sequence will be frame_5#3x.png,frame_10#3x.png,frame_19#3x.png.
I tried to use the following method but no result:
NSInteger firstNumSort(id str1, id str2, void *context) {
int num1 = [str1 integerValue];
int num2 = [str2 integerValue];
if (num1 < num2)
return NSOrderedAscending;
else if (num1 > num2)
return NSOrderedDescending;
return NSOrderedSame;
}
Please suggest how to do this sorting for array.
NSArray *sry_img = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:#"frame_18#3x.png",#"frame_17#3x.png",#"frame_1222#3x.png",#"frame_10#3x.png",#"frame_3#3x.png",#"frame_4#3x.png",#"frame_4#3x.png",#"frame_1#3x.png",#"frame_4#3x.png",#"frame_4#3x.png",nil];
NSArray *sortedStrings = [sry_img sortedArrayUsingSelector:#selector(localizedStandardCompare:)];
NSLog(#"%#",sortedStrings);
Enjy .......
But
localizedStandardCompare:, added in 10.6, should be used whenever file names or other strings are presented in lists and tables where Finder-like sorting is appropriate. The exact behavior of this method may be tweaked in future releases, and will be different under different localizations, so clients should not depend on the exact sorting order of the strings.
you want to do something like:
NSArray *components1 = [str1 componentsSeparatedByString:#"_"];
NSArray *components2 = [str2 componentsSeparatedByString:#"_"];
NSString *number1String = [components1 objectAtIndex:([components1 count] - 1])];
NSString *number2String = [components2 objectAtIndex:([components2 count] - 1])];
return [number1String compare:number2String];
I am not sure if my solution is the best possible approach but it can solve your problem for the time being :) .
1) First I have written a function to get the numbers before # character in your string and then I implemented simple SELECTION SORT algo to sort the array using this functions.
- (NSString*)getSubStringForString:(NSString*)value {
// First we will cut the frame_ string
NSMutableString *trimmedString = [NSMutableString stringWithString:[value substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(6, [value length]-6)]];
// New String to contain the numbers
NSMutableString *newString = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
for (int i = 0; i < [trimmedString length] ; i++) {
NSString *singleChar = [trimmedString substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(i, 1)];
if (![singleChar isEqualToString:#"#"]) {
[newString appendString:singleChar];
} else {
break;
}
}
return newString;
}
This is the selection Implementation of the algo for sorting. The main logic is in the for loop. You can copy the code in viewDidLoad method to test.
NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:#"frame_10#3x.png",#"frame_5#3x.png",
#"frame_3#3x.png", #"frame_19#3x.png",
nil];
NSLog(#"Values before Sort: %#", array);
int iPos;
int iMin;
for (iPos = 0; iPos < [array count]; iPos++)
{
iMin = iPos;
for (int i = iPos+1; i < [array count]; i++)
{
if ([[self getSubStringForString:[array objectAtIndex:i]] intValue] >
[[self getSubStringForString:[array objectAtIndex:iMin]] intValue]) {
iMin = i;
}
}
if ( iMin != iPos )
{
NSString *tempValue = [array objectAtIndex:iPos];
[array replaceObjectAtIndex:iPos withObject:[array objectAtIndex:iMin]];
[array replaceObjectAtIndex:iMin withObject:tempValue];
}
}
NSLog(#"Sorted Values: %#", array);
I hope that it can atleast keep you going. :)
You can try this-
NSString *str1 = [[[[str1 componentsSeparatedByString:#"frame_"] objectAtIndex:1] componentsSeparatedByString:#"#3x.png"] objectAtIndex:0];
int num1 = [str1 integerValue];

My Problem Scenario is like this. I have an NSMutableArray ( Every Object is Nsstring). I have a UItextField ( as Client said) for Search.
I want know how to Search String into NSMutableArray like this
if I type A into textfield only those Content come from NSMutableArray which start From A.
if I type AB into TextField only those Content Comes from NSMutableArray which is started from AB..
....
I am Trying NSRange Concept I like share Mycode
~
for (int i=0; i<[[localTotalArrayForAwailable objectForKey:#"PUNCH"] count]; i++)
{
NSString *drinkNamePuch= [[[localTotalArrayForAwailable objectForKey:#"PUNCH"] objectAtIndex:i] drinkNames];
NSRange titleResultsRange = [drinkNamePuch rangeOfString:searchText options:( NSCaseInsensitiveSearch)];
if (titleResultsRange.length>0)
{
[searchArraypuch addObject:[[localTotalArrayForAwailable objectForKey:#"PUNCH"] objectAtIndex:i]];
[copyListOfItems setValue:searchArraypuch forKey:#"PUNCH"];
}
}
~
Based on this code search not working proper as i need.
Thanks
If you're trying to find all of the strings that match your searchText from the beginning, then you should check:
if ( titleresultsRange.location == 0 )
Other than that, I am not sure what is "not working proper", you need to provide a better explanation of what your expected results are, and what your actual results are.
Do this;
NSPredicate* predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:#"SELF BEGINSWITH[cd] %#", searchText];
NSArray* filteredStrings = [[localTotalArrayForAwailable objectForKey:#"PUNCH"] filteredArrayUsingPredicate:predicate];
In filteredStrings you got all the strings that begins with searchText.
You might find Predicate Programming Guide helpful.
try this logic....it is working
NSMutableArray *arr = [[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithObjects:#"aa",#"bbb",#"bb",#"cc",#"dd",#"ee",#"ff",#"gg",#"hh",#"ii", nil];
NSMutableArray *arrNew = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
NSString *strSearch = #"cccc";
int k = strSearch.length;
for (int i=0; i<[arr count]; i++) {
for (int j=0; j<k; j++) {
if (k<=[[arr objectAtIndex:i] length]) {
if ([strSearch characterAtIndex:j] != [[arr objectAtIndex:i]characterAtIndex:j]) {
break;
}
else if(j == k-1){
[arrNew addObject:[arr objectAtIndex:i]];
}
}
}
}
NSLog(#"%#",[arrNew description]);
You can use these methods, which are provided by NSArray/NSMutableArray:
In NSArray see section "Finding Objects in an Array" for filtering methods starting with "indexesOfObjects...", e.g. indexesOfObjectsPassingTest:
In NSArray see section "Deriving New Arrays" for the method filteredArrayUsingPredicate:
In NSMutableArray there is a method filterUsingPredicate:
For narrowing the results you can continue applying the filtering consecutively to the filtered arrays or index sets.
Example with indexesOfObjectsPassingTest: using a block:
NSArray *strings = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"A", #"a", #"aB", #"AbC", #"Bag", #"Babc", #"baCK", #"", #"dba", nil];
NSString *searchString = #"Ab";
BOOL (^startsWithPredicate)(id, NSUInteger, BOOL*) = ^BOOL (id obj, NSUInteger idx, BOOL *stop) {
NSString *string = (NSString *) obj;
NSRange range = [string rangeOfString:searchString options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch];
return (range.location == 0);
};
NSIndexSet *indexSet = [strings indexesOfObjectsPassingTest:startsWithPredicate];
NSLog(#"Strings found: %#", [strings objectsAtIndexes:indexSet]);
Output:
Strings found: (
aB,
AbC
)
I have an array containing object let say { my saxophone, take, everywhere}. Secondly i have a NSString: 'take my saxophone everywhere' then how can I able to match object of array with string and get index from NSString. I need index of substring from NSString by comparing with objects of array. So that i can sort the array correctly. So far I have done
NSRange range = [feedBackAnswer rangeOfString:#"everywhere"];
if ( range.length > 0 )
{
NSLog(#"range.location..%d",range.location);
}
else
{
NSLog(#"...%d",-1);
}
But I could not find the index of substring.
NSMutableArray * data=[[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithObjects:#"my saxophone",#"take",#"everwhere", nil];
NSString * mat=#"take my saxophone everywhere";
for (int i=0; i<[data count]; i++) {
NSRange range = [mat rangeOfString:[data objectAtIndex:i]];
if (range.length > 0)
NSLog(#"Range is: %#", NSStringFromRange(range));
else
NSLog(#"Failed");
}
[data release];
& check the spelling in array (everwhere)
Range of sub string in a string is ...
0: U
1: n
2: i
3: v
4: e
5: r
6: s
7: i
8: t
9: y
Try this code
NSMutableArray *array1 = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:#"my",#"saxophone",#"take",#"everywhere", nil];
NSString *str1 = #"take my saxophone everywhere";
NSArray *array = [str1 componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceCharacterSet]];
NSLog(#" objects : %#",array);
for (int i=0; i<[array count]; i++) {
for (int j=0; j<[array count]; j++) {
if ([[array objectAtIndex:i] isEqualToString:[array1 objectAtIndex:j]]) {
NSLog(#"String :%# no : %d ",[array objectAtIndex:i],j);
}
}
}
NSMutableArray*array = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
NSArray*Somearray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:1st Object,2ndObject,3rd Object,4th object,5th Object,nil];
In the above array 1st Object,2ndObject,3rd Object,4th object,5th Object having val,content,conclusion in each index.
for(int i=0;i<[Somearray count];i++)
{
______________
Here the code is there to give each index ,that is having val,content,conclusion ..
After that val,content,conclusion in each index will be add to Dict..
____________
NSDictionary *Dict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:val,#"val",content,#"content",conclusion,#"conclusion",nil];
//Each time adding dictionary into array;
[array addObject:Dict];
}
The above Dictionary is in for loop and the keyvalue pairs will be add 5 times(Somearray Count).Now array is having in
array = [{val="1.1 this is first one",content="This is the content of 0th index",conclusion="this is the conclusion of 0th index"},{val="1.2 this is first one",content="This is the content of 1st index",conclusion="this is the conclusion of 1st index"},____,____,______,{val="1.5 this is first one",content="This is the content of 4th index",conclusion="this is the conclusion of 4th index"},nil];
Now i am having NSString*string = #"1.5";
Now i need the index where val is having 1.5 in it.How to send the str in to array to find the the index.
Can anyone share the code please.
Thanks in advance.
Use method indexOfObject
int inx= [array indexOfObject:#"1.5"];
For Find index particular key value.
int inx;
for (int i=0; i<[array count]; i++) {
if ([[[array objectAtIndex:i] allKeys] containsObject:#"val"]) {
inx=i;
break;
}
}
The method you are looking for is -[NSArray indexOfObjectPassingTest:]. You would use it like this:
NSUInteger i = [array indexOfObjectPassingTest:^(id obj, NSUInteger idx, BOOL *stop) {
return [[id objectForKey:#"val"] rangeOfString:#"1.5"].location != NSNotFound;
}];
If you just want to check that val starts with "1.5" you would use hasPrefix: instead.
Try this -
NSArray *valArray = [array valueForKey:#"val"];
int index = [valArray indexOfObject:#"1.5"];
Appended answer given by Mandeep, to show you the magic of key value coding ;)
NSUInteger idx = UINT_MAX;
NSCharacterSet* spaceSet = [NSCharacterSet whitespaceCharacterSet];
for(int i=0,i_l=[Yourarray count];i<i_l;i++) {
NSString* s_prime = [[Yourarray objectAtIndex:i] valueForKey:#"val"];
if ([s_prime length] < 4) {
continue;
}
NSString *subString = [[s_prime substringToIndex:4] stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:spaceSet];
// NSLog(#"index %#",s);
if ([subString isEqualToString:secretNumber]){
idx = i;
break;
}
}
if (idx != UINT_MAX) {
// NSLog(#"Found at index: %d",idx);
} else {
// NSLog(#"Not found");
}
I am having a bit of trouble navigating around an NSArray.
My array:
Element[0] = "ElementA"
Element[1] = "ElementA"
Element[2] = "ElementA"
Element[3] = "ElementA"
Element[4] = "ElementB"
Element[5] = "ElementC"
Are there any methods in Objective-C that will help me find the "median" element? In this case, the "median" would be "ElementA", or the value that occurs the maximum number of times.
In C# this would be a single call, but I can't find an equivalent in Objective-C.
Many thanks,
Brett
Here's how I'd do it:
NSArray * elements = ...; //your array of elements:
NSCountedSet * counts = [NSCountedSet setWithArray:elements]:
id modeObject = nil;
NSUInteger modeCount = 0;
for (id element in counts) {
if ([counts countForObject:element] > modeCount) {
modeCount = [counts countForObject:element];
modeObject = element;
}
}
NSLog(#"element with highest frequency: %#", modeObject);
An NSCountedSet is an NSMutableSet that also remembers how many times its elements have been added to the array.
Wrote this just for you :)
- (NSString *) findModeString: (NSArray *) array {
NSMutableDictionary *stats = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
for(NSString *str in array) {
if(![stats objectForKey:str]) {
[stats setObject: [NSNumber numberWithInt:1] forKey:str];
} else {
[stats setObject: [NSNumber numberWithInt:[[stats objectForKey:str] intValue] + 1] forKey:str];
}
}
NSInteger maxOccurrences = 0;
NSString *max;
for(NSString *key in stats) {
if([[stats objectForKey:key] intValue] > maxOccurrences) {
max = key;
maxOccurrences = [[stats objectForKey:key] intValue];
}
}
[stats release];
return max;
}
EDIT: Although my solution works, you should upvote/accept #Dave DeLong's answer, it is much much better.
Couldn't you just use:
[myarray length] /2
Suppose I have an array having elements "am","john","rosa","freedom". I want to compare these elements and result would be the word and the size of the longest word. I am using objective C.
There isn't a "built-in" way of doing this, however you can use NSArray's sortedArrayUsingSelector: and create a category on NSString to provide a lengthCompare: method.
// NSString+LengthCompare.h
#import NSString.h
#interface NSString (LengthComparison)
- (NSComparisonResult)lengthCompare:(NSString *)aString;
#end
// NSString+LengthCompare.m
#import NSString+LengthCompare.h
#implememtation NSString (LengthComparison)
- (NSComparisonResult)lengthCompare:(NSString *)aString
{
if ([self length] < [aString length]) {
return NSOrderedAscending;
} else if ([self length] > [aString length]) {
return NSOrderedDescending;
} else {
return NSOrderedSame;
}
}
#end
Now you can sort an of strings in ascending order using lengthCompare:
NSArray *array = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: #"am", #"john", #"rosa", #"freedom", nil];
NSArray *arraySortedByStringLength = [array sortedArrayUsingSelector:#selector(lengthCompare:)];
NString *shortestWord = [[arraySortedByStringLength objectAtIndex:0] retain];
NSLog(#"shortest word, %# has length %d", shortestWord, [shortestWord length];
[shortestWord release];
NString *longestWord = [[arraySortedByStringLength lastObject] retain];
NSLog(#"Longest word, %# has length %d", longestWord, [longestWord length];
[longestWord release];
Sounds like a classical logic exercise or is it something I miss in your question ?
int longestWordIndex = 0;
NSUInteger longestWordSize = 0;
for (int i=0 ; i<[nameArray count] ; i++) {
NSString* element = (NSString*)[nameArray objectAtindex:i];
if([element lenght] > longestWordSize) {
longestWordSize = [element lenght];
longestWordIndex = i;
}
}
NSLog("Longest word is %# with size of :%d", [nameArray objectAtIndex:longestWordIndex], longestWordSize);
I'll add one more approach to the two above -- use a block to do the body of your iteration.
__block NSUInteger longestWordSize = -1; // Make sure at least one object will be longer.
__block NSUInteger longestWordIndex;
[nameArray enumerateObjectsUsingBlock:^(id currentWord, NSUInteger index, BOOL *stop) {
if ([currentWord length] > longestWordSize) {
longestWordSize = [currentWord length];
longestWordIndex = index;
}
}];
NSLog("Longest word is %# with size of :%d", [nameArray objectAtIndex:longestWordIndex], longestWordSize);
Edit: The max and index have to be of storage type __block so they can be changed from inside the block.
