I got a headache trying to count returns (\n) in my UITextView. As you'll soon realise, I'm a bloody beginner and here is my theory of what I've come up with, but there are many gaps...
- (IBAction)countReturns:(id)sender {
int returns;
while ((textView = getchar()) != endOfString [if there is such a thing?])
{
if (textView = getchar()) == '\n') {
returns++;
}
}
NSString *newText = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"Number of returns: %d", returns];
numberReturns.text = newText;
[newText release];
}
I checked other questions on here, but people are usually (in my eyes) lost in some details which I don't understand. Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks for your patience.
You can simply
UITextView *theview; //remove this line, and change future theview to your veiw
NSString *thestring; //for storing a string from your view
int returnint = 0;
thestring = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[theview text]];
for (int temp = 0; temp < [thestring length]; temp++){ //run through the string
if ([thestring characterAtIndex: temp] == '\n')
returnint++;
}
NSArray *newlines = [textView.text componentsSeparatedByString:#"\n"];
int returns = ([newlines count]-1)
Should work. Keep in mind this isn't such a great idea if you have a gia-normous string, but it's quick, dirty and easy to implement.
there are a lot of ways to do that. Here is one:
NSString *str = #"FooBar\n\nBaz...\n\nABC\n";
NSString *tmpStr = [str stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"\n" withString:#""];
NSInteger count = [str length] - [tmpStr length];
NSLog(#"Count: %d", count);

I want to find any word or full stop from a nsstring.
NSString *str = #"Hi, my name is Tina. I want to ask something. I am trying a lot. But I am not able. To find full stop. Position Everytime. It come in str.";
In this I want to track the position of full stop not first full stop positions every full stop position in "Str".
I know how to find words but not able to get full stop position every time it come on my str.
Here is what am I doing
NSString *str = #"Hi, my name is Tina. I want to ask something. I am trying a lot. But I am not able. To find full stop. Position Everytime. It come in str.";
NSInteger count = 0;
NSArray *arr = [str componentsSeparatedByString:#" "];
for(int i=0;i<[arr count];i++)
{
if([[arr objectAtIndex:i] isEqualToString:#"."])
count++;
}
I don't want this as it give me str character length not by word. I want to check after how many words full stop is comming.
if ([str3 rangeOfString:#"."].location == xOut) { // dont want
or
if ([str3 rangeOfString:#"."].location != NSNotFound) { // dont want
Any Idea or suggestion would be highly welcome.
NSString *str = #"Hi, my name is Tina. I want to ask something. I am trying a lot. But I am not able. To find full stop. Position Everytime. It come in str.";
[str enumerateSubstringsInRange:NSMakeRange(0, str.length) options:NSStringEnumerationBySentences usingBlock:^(NSString *substring, NSRange substringRange, NSRange enclosingRange, BOOL *stop) {
[substring enumerateSubstringsInRange:NSMakeRange(0, substring.length) options:NSStringEnumerationByWords | NSStringEnumerationReverse usingBlock:^(NSString *substring, NSRange substringRange, NSRange enclosingRange, BOOL *stop) {
NSLog(#"%#", substring); // last word
*stop = YES;
}];
}];
This will give you the last word of each sentence.
Use this code -
NSString *str = #"Hi, my name is Tina. I want to ask something. I am trying a lot. But I am not able. To find full stop. Position Everytime. It come in str.";
NSInteger count = 0;
NSArray *arr = [str componentsSeparatedByString:#"."];
for(int i = 0; i< [arr count]; i++)
{
NSString *sentence = [arr objectAtIndex:i];
sentence = [sentence stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];
NSArray *wordArray = [sentence componentsSeparatedByString:#" "];
count = [wordArray count];
NSLog(#"No of words after full stop is comming = %i", count);
}
Try this
NSString *str = #"Hi, my name is Tina. I want to ask something. I am trying a lot. But I am not able. To find full stop. Position Everytime. It come in str.";
NSInteger count = 0;
NSArray *arr = [str componentsSeparatedByString:#" "];
for(int i=0;i<[arr count];i++)
{
NSString *arrStr=[arr objectAtIndex:i];
for(int j=0;j<arrStr.length;j++){
NSString *Schar=[arrStr substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(j, 1)];
if([Schar isEqualToString:#"."])
count++;
}
}
here,Count will show number of time . is in string.
Have a look # following links :
NSUInteger numberOfOccurrences = [[yourString componentsSeparatedByString:#"."] count] - 1;
Number of occurrences of a substring in an NSString?
Number of Occurrences of a Character in NSString
Hope this helps :)
Code Snippet:
NSString *tempStr = self.consumerNumber.text;
if ([tempStr hasPrefix:#"0"] && [tempStr length] > 1) {
tempStr = [tempStr substringFromIndex:1];
[self.consumerNumbers addObject:tempStr];>
}
I tried those things and removing only one zero. how to remove more then one zero
Output :001600240321
Expected result :1600240321
Any help really appreciated
Thanks in advance !!!!!
Try to use this one
NSString *stringWithZeroes = #"001600240321";
NSString *cleanedString = [stringWithZeroes stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"^0+" withString:#"" options:NSRegularExpressionSearch range:NSMakeRange(0, stringWithZeroes.length)];
NSLog(#"Clean String %#",cleanedString);
Clean String 1600240321
convert string to int value and re-assign that value to string,
NSString *cleanString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", [string intValue]];
o/p:-1600240321
You can add a recursive function that is called until the string begin by something else than a 0 :
-(NSString*)removeZerosFromString:(NSString *)anyString
{
if ([anyString hasPrefix:#"0"] && [anyString length] > 1)
{
return [self removeZerosFromString:[anyString substringFromIndex:1]];
}
else
return anyString;
}
so you just call in your case :
NSString *tempStr = [self removeZerosFromString:#"000903123981000"];
NSString *str = #"001600240321";
NSString *newStr = [#([str integerValue]) stringValue];
If the NSString contains numbers only.
Other wise use this:
-(NSString *)stringByRemovingStartingZeros:(NSString *)string
{
NSString *newString = string;
NSInteger count = 0;
for(int i=0; i<[string length]; i++)
{
if([[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%c",[string characterAtIndex:i]] isEqualToString:#"0"])
{
newString = [newString stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:NSMakeRange(i-count, 1) withString:#""];
count++;
}
else
{
break;
}
}
return newString;
}
Simply call this method:-
NSString *stringWithZeroes = #"0000000016909tthghfghf";
NSLog(#"%#", [self stringByRemovingStartingZeros:stringWithZeroes]);
OutPut: 16909tthghfghf
Try the `stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString´ methode like this:
NSString *new = [old stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString: #"0" withString:#""];
SORRY: This doesn't help you due to more "0" in the middle part of your string!
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];
how can I display 5 raise to 1/3 in iphone i.e I want 1/3 written above 5 can anyone help please
I Found this solution, hope so it would be helpful for you.
x to the power of y in a UILabel could be easy. Just replace your indices with unicode superscript characters... I use the following method to turn an integer into a string with superscript characters.
+(NSString *)convertIntToSuperscript:(int)i
{
NSArray *array = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:#"⁰", #"¹", #"²", #"³", #"⁴", #"⁵", #"⁶", #"⁷", #"⁸", #"⁹", nil];
if (i >= 0 && i <= 9) {
NSString *myString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", [array objectAtIndex:i]];
[array release];
return myString;
}
else {
NSString *base = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%i", i];
NSMutableString *newString = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
for (int b = 0; b<[base length]; b++) {
int temp = [[base substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(b, 1)] intValue];
[newString appendString:[array objectAtIndex:temp]];
}
[array release];
NSString *returnString = [NSString stringWithString:newString];
[newString release];
return returnString;
}
}
Try this NSString *cmsquare=#"cm\u00B2";
It will display cm².
Yes you can do that but you need custom UILabel, either Make it by yourself or Get it Open Source..
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.
- (NSString *)stringByTrimmingString:(NSString *)stringToTrim toChar:(NSUInteger)toCharacterIndex {
if (toCharacterIndex > [stringToTrim length]) return #"";
NSString *devString = [[[NSString alloc] init] autorelease];
for (int i = 0; i <= toCharacterIndex; i++) {
devString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#%#", devString, [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%c", [stringToTrim characterAtIndex:(i-1)]]];
}
return devString;
[devString release];
}
- (NSString *)stringByTrimmingString:(NSString *)stringToTrim fromChar:(NSUInteger)fromCharacterIndex {
if (fromCharacterIndex > [stringToTrim length]) return #"";
NSString *devString = [[[NSString alloc] init] autorelease];
for (int i = (fromCharacterIndex+1); i <= [stringToTrim length]; i++) {
devString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#%#", devString, [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%c", [stringToTrim characterAtIndex:(i-1)]]];
}
return devString;
[devString release];
}
- (NSRange)rangeOfString:(NSString *)substring inString:(NSString *)string atOccurence:(int)occurence {
NSString *trimmedString = [inString copy]; //We start with the whole string.
NSUInteger len, loc, oldLength;
len = 0;
loc = 0;
NSRange tempRange = [string rangeOfString:substring];
len = tempRange.length;
loc = tempRange.location;
for (int i = 0; i != occurence; i++) {
NSUInteger endOfWord = len+loc;
trimmedString = [self stringByTrimmingString:trimmedString fromChar:endOfWord];
oldLength += [[self stringByTrimmingString:trimmedString toChar:endOfWord] length];
NSRange tmp = [trimmedString rangeOfString:substring];
len = tmp.length;
loc = tmp.location + oldLength;
}
NSRange returnRange = NSMakeRange(loc, len);
return returnRange;
}
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.
