NSString *url = #"http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask";
How can I get the character position of the 4th "/" ?
If you're just trying to get the last part of the url, you should be able to use this:
NSArray* items = [url componentsSeparatedByString:#"/"];
To get the index of the last '/' character:
NSRange range = [url rangeOfString:#"/" options:NSBackwardsSearch];
get the index value from range.location
To find the index of the fourth '/' character from the url:
int count = 0;
int index = -1;
for (unsigned int i=0; i < [url length]; ++i) {
if ([url characterAtIndex:i] == '/') {
++count;
if (count == 4) {
index = i;
break;
}
}
}
Usually you don't have to get the index of the letter /. You can just use many convenience methods defined in NSURL, see this Apple reference. I would do
NSURL* url=[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask"];
NSString* last=[url lastPathComponent]; // last is now #"ask"
another way you can use
[url rangeOfString:#"/" options:NSBackwardsSearch].location
hope it help!
I editted my answer after understanding your problem.
The answer of Hitesh it almost correct, you just need to do a little bit more
NSArray* items = [url componentsSeparatedByString:#"/"];
if ([items count] > 4) {
NSString *string = [items objectAtIndex:4];
}

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 a file path of, for example /Users/Documents/New York/SoHo/abc.doc. Now I need to just retrieve /SoHo/abc.doc from this path.
I have gone through the following:
stringByDeletingPathExtension -> used to delete the extension from the path.
stringByDeletingLastPathComponent -> to delete the last part in the part.
However I didn't find any method to delete the first part and keep the last two parts of a path.
NSString has loads of path handling methods which it would be a shame not to use...
NSString* filePath = // something
NSArray* pathComponents = [filePath pathComponents];
if ([pathComponents count] > 2) {
NSArray* lastTwoArray = [pathComponents subarrayWithRange:NSMakeRange([pathComponents count]-2,2)];
NSString* lastTwoPath = [NSString pathWithComponents:lastTwoArray];
}
I've written function special for you:
- (NSString *)directoryAndFilePath:(NSString *)fullPath
{
NSString *path = #"";
NSLog(#"%#", fullPath);
NSRange range = [fullPath rangeOfString:#"/" options:NSBackwardsSearch];
if (range.location == NSNotFound) return fullPath;
range = NSMakeRange(0, range.location);
NSRange secondRange = [fullPath rangeOfString:#"/" options:NSBackwardsSearch range:range];
if (secondRange.location == NSNotFound) return fullPath;
secondRange = NSMakeRange(secondRange.location, [fullPath length] - secondRange.location);
path = [fullPath substringWithRange:secondRange];
return path;
}
Just call:
[self directoryAndFilePath:#"/Users/Documents/New York/SoHo/abc.doc"];
Divide the string into components by sending it a pathComponents message.
Remove all but the last two objects from the resulting array.
Join the two path components together into a single string with +pathWithComponents:
Why not search for the '/' characters and determine the paths that way?
NSString* theLastTwoComponentOfPath;
NSString* filePath = //GET Path;
NSArray* pathComponents = [filePath pathComponents];
int last= [pathComponents count] -1;
for(int i=0 ; i< [pathComponents count];i++){
if(i == (last -1)){
theLastTwoComponentOfPath = [pathComponents objectAtIndex:i];
}
if(i == last){
theTemplateName = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"\\%#\\%#", theLastTwoComponentOfPath,[pathComponents objectAtIndex:i] ];
}
}
NSlog (#"The last Two Components=%#", theLastTwoComponentOfPath);
when i convert my array by following method , it adds () charracter.
i want to remove the () how can i do it..
NSMutableArray *rowsToBeDeleted = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
NSString *postString =
[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",
rowsToBeDeleted];
int index = 0;
for (NSNumber *rowSelected in selectedArray)
{
if ([rowSelected boolValue])
{
profileName = [appDelegate.archivedItemsList objectAtIndex:index];
NSString *res = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d",profileName.userID];
[rowsToBeDeleted addObject:res];
}
index++;
}
UPDATE - 1
when i print my array it shows like this
(
70,
71,
72
)
Here's a brief example of deleting the given characters from a string.
NSString *someString = #"(whatever)";
NSCharacterSet *charSet = [NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:#"()"];
NSMutableString *mutableCopy = [NSMutableString stringWithString:someString];
NSRange range;
for (range = [mutableCopy rangeOfCharacterFromSet:charSet];
range.location != NSNotFound;
[mutableCopy deleteCharactersInRange:range],
range = [mutableCopy rangeOfCharacterFromSet:charSet]);
All this does is get a mutable copy of the string, set up a character set with any and all characters to be stripped from the string, and find and remove each instance of those characters from the mutable copy. This might not be the cleanest way to do it (I don't know what the cleanest is) - obviously, you have the option of doing it Ziminji's way as well. Also, I abused a for loop for the hell of it. Anyway, that deletes some characters from a string and is pretty simple.
Try using NSArray’s componentsJoinedByString method to convert your array to a string:
[rowsToBeDeleted componentsJoinedByString:#", "];
The reason you are getting the parenthesis is because you are calling the toString method on the NSArray class. Therefore, it sounds like you just want to substring the resulting string. To do this, you can use a function like the following:
+ (NSString *) extractString: (NSString *)string prefix: (NSString *)prefix suffix: (NSString *)suffix {
int strLength = [string length];
int begIndex = [prefix length];
int endIndex = strLength - (begIndex + [suffix length]);
if (endIndex > 0) {
string = [string substringWithRange: NSMakeRange(begIndex, endIndex)];
}
return string;
}
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'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)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.
