NSArray componentsSeperatedByString Sigabrt - iphone

I get a Sigabrt at the NSlog and i have no idea why - any suggestions?
NSString* contentList = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:currentFilePath encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
NSArray* contentArray = [contentList componentsSeparatedByString:#"$$"];
NSLog(#"%#%#",contentList,[contentArray count]);
kunden = [contentArray objectAtIndex:0];
kundenView.text = kunden;
Following Joes suggestions, I now got:
NSString* contentList = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:currentFilePath encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
NSArray* contentArray = [[contentList componentsSeparatedByString:#"$$"] retain];
if ([contentArray count] > 0) {
NSLog(#"%#%#",contentList,[contentArray count]);
kunden = [contentArray objectAtIndex:0];
kundenView.text = kunden;
}
Which gives me an EXC_BAD_ACCESS at the NSLog thing.

I get a Sigabrt at the NSlog
Your NSLog statement is trying to print an integer as if it was an object:
NSLog(#"%#%#",contentList,[contentArray count]);
^
Here!
Replace %# with %d.
You can read more on format specifiers in the String Programming Guide.

You are not checking to make sure you have at least 1 element in your array. Accessing [contentArray objectAtIndex:0] will be an issue if the contentArray is empty.

Reading from NSMutableArray throws exception at item 2 even though it exists

I've got a file with a bunch of string in like so:
item1,01-SR,admin,Missing or broken,undefined, 16/04/2013 18:10:10;
item1,03-SR,admin,In Use,undefined, 16/04/2013 18:10:34;
item1,01-SR,admin,In Use,undefined, 16/04/2013 18:10:45;
item1,02-SR,admin,In Use,undefined, 16/04/2013 18:10:49;
item1,05,admin,In Use,undefined, 16/04/2013 18:10:56;
I'm reading the strings in and then splitting them up so I just get one string at a time. Then I want to split up the string I've got again so each CSV is it's own variable. I've tried this like so (numLines is a count of the number of lines in the file):
while (count1 < numLines) {
NSString *message = [[strings objectAtIndex: count1] copy];
NSMutableArray *items = [[fileContents componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:#";"]] mutableCopy];
NSString *items1 = [[items objectAtIndex: count1] copy];
NSLog(#"items: %#", items1);
NSMutableArray *inditems = [[items1 componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:#","]] mutableCopy];
NSString * item1 = inditems[0];
NSString * bnum1 = inditems[1];
NSString * user1 = inditems[2];
NSString * state1 = inditems[3];
NSString * gender1 = inditems[4];
NSString * tstamp1 = inditems[5];
NSLog(#"item: %#", item1);
NSLog(#"bnum: %#", bnum1);
NSLog(#"user: %#", user1);
NSLog(#"state: %#", state1);
NSLog(#"gender: %#", gender1);
NSLog(#"tstamp: %#", tstamp1);
count1++;
}
Now, this works as far as selecting one line from the file and it puts the first two items into the array and then writes the values of item1 and bnum1 to the log but then it throws an exception for some reason. Now this would usually suggest to me that item 2 doesn't exist in the array so I did a count like so:
NSLog(#"count = %d", [inditems count]);
Which correctly returns 6. I then wanted to check that it could actually read another item from the array so I did:
NSString *tstamp1 = [[inditems lastObject] copy];
Which when logged correctly returns the time stamps like so:
16/04/2013 18:10:10
So I thought "oh at least item 5 works" and tried just getting that item:
while (count1 < numLines) {
NSString *message = [[strings objectAtIndex: count1] copy];
NSMutableArray *items = [[fileContents componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:#";"]] mutableCopy];
NSString *items1 = [[items objectAtIndex: count1] copy];
NSLog(#"items: %#", items1);
NSMutableArray *inditems = [[items1 componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:#","]] mutableCopy];
NSString * item1 = inditems[0];
NSString * bnum1 = inditems[1];
NSString * tstamp1 = inditems[5];
NSLog(#"item: %#", item1);
NSLog(#"bnum: %#", bnum1);
NSLog(#"tstamp: %#", tstamp1);
count1++;
}
But that also throws an exception! I'm probably doing something stupid here, but I would appreciate any help.
Thanks!
My guess is your NSArray *strings is including empty value which is causing your error. You need to check it first and then do your logic.
//path is your file path
NSString* fileContents = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:path encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
NSArray *strings = [fileContents componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet newlineCharacterSet]];
for (int i = 0; i < [strings count]; i++){
if (![[strings objectAtIndex:i] isEqualToString:#""]){
//Here do your code...
}
}

String not getting split giving unrecognized selector error

Trying to split the string in to array, but it is giving error "[__NSArrayI componentsSeparatedByString:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x11741b20'". The string contains the value, that comes from first index of array then the string needs to be split and store in array.
This is array value.

NSString *strr = [[NSString alloc]init];
strr = [self.mCommArr objectAtIndex:indexVal];

});

#catch (NSException *exception) {

}
#finally {

}
It get killed when try to split. Why so, i am not getting. If anyone has faced such situation please guide what is wrong her.
You can split the string into an NSArray like below...
NSString *yourString = #"comment,comment,comment";
NSArray *strArray = [yourString componentsSeparatedByString:#","];
NSLog(#"\n\n Array is ==>> %#",strArray);
"[__NSArrayI componentsSeparatedByString:]:
Your error says you tried to send the above method to NSArray, which doesn't has.
As you want to split the array at index 0. you should probably do as :
NSArray *splitArray=[yourArray[0] componentsSeparatedByString:#","];
Here yourArray is the array that you get from Server.
NSString *strr = [[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", [self.mCommArr objectAtIndex:indexVal]];
NSArray *arr2 = [strr componentsSeparatedByString:#","];
I think you are passing str right now, which can be an array (as your error points out).
Let me know the results.

Xml parsing in Iphone and adding values to NSMutableArray

I am new to xml parsing. I have the following xml
<myMainList>
<mySubList>
<edited>true</edited>
<mySharedNumber>W59QYBZKJ4</mySharedNumber>
</mySubList>
<mySubList>
<edited>false</edited>
<mySharedNumber>TOW4KLP9WD</mySharedNumber>
</mySubList>
<mySubList>
<edited>true</edited>
<mySharedNumber>XH8JDIZA64</mySharedNumber>
</mySubList>
<mySubList>
<edited>false</edited>
<mySharedNumber>V2YOHSNODT</mySharedNumber>
</mySubList>
</myMainList>
I have edited my question.
I am not familiar with looping through the whole xml and adding the values into my array. Can someone show me how I can add the 4 sharedNumberList values into my array.
Edit:
GDataXMLElement *node;
NSArray * array = [node nodesForXPath:#"//return/myMainList/mySubList" error:nil];
NSLog(#"count :%d",[array count]);
int sharedContacts = [array count];
NSMutableArray *mySharedListArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
for(int i = 1; i<= sharedContacts; i++){
NSString *xmlDataFetcher = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"//return/myMainList/mySubList[%d]",i ];
NSString *parsedNumbers = [node nodeStringForXPath:[xmlDataFetcher stringByAppendingString:#"/mySharedNumber"]];
NSString *parsedEdit = [node nodeStringForXPath:[xmlDataFetcher stringByAppendingString:#"/edited"]];
NSLog(#"Parsed Edited %#", [node nodeStringForXPath:[xmlDataFetcher stringByAppendingString:#"/edited"]]);
NSLog(#"Parsed sharedNumber %#", [node nodeStringForXPath:[xmlDataFetcher stringByAppendingString:#"/mySharedNumber"]]);
NSString *arrayEntry = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#%#", parsedNumbers, parsedEdit];;
[mySharedListArray addObject:arrayEntry];
}
NSLog(#"Array entry %#", mySharedListArray);
I have added a lot of NSLog in the answer, so that you could log it as you wish
I haven't done this most probably this is returning an array from the xpath query so Try this instead
[mySharedListArray addObjectsFromArray:[node nodesForXPath:#"//return/MyList" error:nil]];

How to search in NSArray?

I am having an array like fallowing,
NSArray*array = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"1.1 something", #"1.2 something else", #"1.3 out of left field", #"1.4 yet another!", nil];
Now,i am having the string like fallowing,
NSString*str = #"1.3";
Now i will send the str .Then it needs to find that str in array and it need to return the index of object where that text found.Means i need index 2 has to come as output.Can anyone share the code please.Thanks in advance.
Here is an example using blocks, notice the method: hasPrefix:
NSArray *array = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"1.1 problem1", #"1.2 problem2", #"1.3 problem3", #"1.4 problem4", nil];
NSString *str = #"1.3";
NSUInteger index = [array indexOfObjectPassingTest:
^(id obj, NSUInteger idx, BOOL *stop) {
return [obj hasPrefix:str];
}];
NSLog(#"index: %lu", index);
NSLog output:
index: 2
First a comment,
NSString *str = 1.3;
does not create an NSString object. You should instead have
NSString *str = #"1.3";
To search the NSArray, you will either have to change the string to the exact string in the array or search the NSString as well. For the former, simply do
float num = 1.3;
NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%.1f problem%d",num,(num*10)%10];
[array indexOfObject:str];
You can get fancier using NSPredicates as well.
Try
NSString *searchString = [str stringByAppendingFormat: #" problem%#", [str substringFromIndex: 2]];
NSUInteger index = [array indexOfObject: searchString];
Or (because you somehow like oneliners):
[array indexOfObject: [[array filteredArrayUsingPredicate: [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat: #"SELF beginswith %#", str]] objectAtIndex: 0]];
The simplest way is to enumerate through values of array and check substrings:
NSArray *array = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: #"1.1 something", #"1.2 something else", #"1.3 out of left field", #"1.4 yet another!", nil];
NSString *str = #"1.33";
int i = -1;
int index = -1;
for (NSString *arrayString in array) {
i++;
if ([arrayString rangeOfString: str].location != NSNotFound) {
index = i;
break;
}
}
NSLog(#"Index: %d", index);
Not optimal but will work.

obj-c problem setting array with componentsSeperatedByString

I have a data source with about 2000 lines that look like the following:
6712,Anaktuvuk Pass Airport,Anaktuvuk Pass,United States,AKP,PAKP,68.1336,-151.743,2103,-9,A
What I am interested in is the 6th section of this string so I want to turn it into an array, then i want to check the 6th section [5] for an occurrance of that string "PAKP"
Code:
NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
NSString *airportsPath = [bundle pathForResource:#"airports" ofType:#"dat"];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:airportsPath];
NSString *dataString = [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] autorelease];
NSArray *dataArray = [dataString componentsSeparatedByString:#"\n"];
NSRange locationOfAirport;
NSString *workingString = [[NSString alloc]initWithFormat:#""];
NSString *searchedAirport = [[NSString alloc]initWithFormat:#""];
NSString *airportData = [[NSString alloc]initWithFormat:#""];
int d;
for (d=0; d < [dataArray count]; d=d+1) {
workingString = [dataArray objectAtIndex:d];
testTextBox = workingString; //works correctly
NSArray *workingArray = [workingString componentsSeparatedByString:#","];
testTextBox2 = [workingArray objectAtIndex: 0]; //correctly displays the first section "6712"
testTextBox3 = [workingArray objectAtIndex:1] //throws exception index beyond bounds
locationOfAirport = [[workingArray objectAtIndex:5] rangeOfString:#"PAKP"];
}
the problem is that when the workingArray populates, it only populates with a single object (the first component of the string which is "6712". If i have it display the workingString, it correctly displays the entire string, but for some reason, it isn't correctly making the array using the commas.
i tried it without using the data file and it worked fine, so the problem comes from how I am importing the data.
ideas?
You code works. You should run it with the debugger to see what's happening. At a guess, your input data isn't what you think it is - possibly a different encoding, or different line endings.
See sample:
NSString *dataString = #"6712,Anaktuvuk Pass Airport,Anaktuvuk Pass,United States,AKP,PAKP,68.1336,-151.743,2103,-9,A";
NSArray *dataArray = [dataString componentsSeparatedByString:#"\n"];
for (NSString *workingString in dataArray) {
NSString *testTextBox = workingString; //works correctly
NSArray *workingArray = [workingString componentsSeparatedByString:#","];
NSString *testTextBox2 = [workingArray objectAtIndex: 0]; //correctly displays the first section "6712"
NSString *testTextBox3 = [workingArray objectAtIndex:1]; //throws exception index beyond bounds
NSRange locationOfAirport = [[workingArray objectAtIndex:5] rangeOfString:#"PAKP"];
}
there was a problem in the data where there were a few "\"s that caused the errors.
