Splitting an NSString - iphone

I have the following code which fetches a string from an array of strings and splits the string into 2 parts.
NSString *temp = [tableViewData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSArray *tempArray = [temp componentsSeparatedByString: #"_"];
cell.textLabel.text = [tempArray objectAtIndex:1];
and the String which is added is as follows
newTitle = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d_%#",[Daily_QuoteViewController counter],title];
[plistArray addObject:newTitle];
[plistArray writeToFile:filepath atomically: YES];
Which is adding an index and a string.
I am trying to then split that string in the first code section. but trying to access the second part of the string at index 1 gives an out of bounds error.
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSRangeException', reason: '*** -[NSArray objectAtIndex:]: index 1 beyond bounds [0 .. 0]'
What is the best way to split the string in order to use both parts of the string
split firstPart_secondPart
Thanks in advance.

This seems fine to me. Can you print out NSString temp? NSLog(#"%#", temp);

Splitting NSString not working

I have seen may topics that talk about that but none of them has been useful for me. I am trying to parse GEORSS and the coordinates are given me with the following format:
<georss:point>4613618.31000115 676474.87007986</georss:point>
So I have tried to split it into an NSArray and then assign them to the corresponding XML key, but it always crash with that error:

In the header of that file I have declares both variables correctly and the synthesized them:

#property (strong) NSMutableString *xmlLon;
...
Thank you everyone for advanced, you already have helped me with some responses in other topics!
I tried following code :
NSString *abc = #"4613618.31000115 676474.87007986";
NSArray *componentes = [[abc componentsSeparatedByString:#" "] mutableCopy];
NSLog(#"componentes : %#",componentes);
NSMutableString *xmlLat = [[NSMutableString alloc]initWithString:#""];
NSMutableString *xmlLon = [[NSMutableString alloc]initWithString:#""];
[xmlLat appendString:componentes[0]];
[xmlLon appendString:componentes[1]];
NSLog(#"xmlLat : %#",xmlLat);
NSLog(#"xmlLon : %#",xmlLon);
It worked perfectly for me. I thin the problem is you are not getting proper data in your string.

application crashes when appendString for NSMutableString is used

I'm new to objective-c and I decided to start by working through Stanford's CS193s 2010F Session's lectures/assignments.
I was working on the second assignment, and I was stuck when I had to return a NSString that combines(concatenates) every strings inside NSMutableArray. (The MutableArray consists only NSString at its each indices)
My approach was to use a for loop to pass through the MutableArray's indicies(in the code below, the MutableArray is 'anExpression' with type 'id'). I declared a NSMutableString and added NSString at each indices of 'anExpression' array. Here is the code:
+ (NSString *)descriptionOfExpression:(id)anExpression{
NSMutableString *result = [NSMutableString string];
for (int i = 0;i<[anExpression count];i++){
[result appendString:[anExpression objectAtIndex:i]];
}
return result;
}
However, at
[result appendString:[anExpression objectAtIndex:i]];
xcode crashes with following error statements:

terminate called throwing an exception
I looked through apple's developer's document, saw 'NSString stringWithFormat:' method, and decided to use this method instead:
+ (NSString *)descriptionOfExpression:(id)anExpression{
NSMutableString *result = [NSMutableString string];
for (int i = 0;i<[anExpression count];i++){
[result appendString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[anExpression objectAtIndex:i]]];
}
return result;
}
and it works now.
now I'm confused why second code works but the first doesn't.
I thought appending string only fails(and crashes) when it's passed a nil...
Is there something I'm missing?
Thank you in advance :)
It looks like the contents of anExpression are instances of NSNumber instead of NSString. The error you are getting is a hint as to how appendString works; it's first step is obviously to ask the passed "string" how long it is (presumably so it can allocate enough memory). This is obviously not a method on NSNumber (hence the crash) and stringWithFormat is designed to do type-checking and be more flexible.
I suspect you could also use stringValue just as well:
[result appendString:[[anExpression objectAtIndex:i] stringValue]];
+ (NSString *)descriptionOfExpression:(id)anExpression{
NSMutableString *result = [NSMutableString string];
for (int i = 0;i<[anExpression count];i++) {
[result appendString:[[anExpression objectAtIndex:i] stringValue]];
}
return result;
}
Converting it into string would help you!!
Use this function:
+ (NSString *)descriptionOfExpression:(id)anExpression
{
NSMutableString *result = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
for (int i = 0;i<[anExpression count];i++)
{
NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[anExpression objectAtIndex:i]];
if(str)
{
[result appendString:str];
}
//OR
//[result appendFormat:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[anExpression objectAtIndex:i]]];
}
return result;
}

How to delete in an NSMutableArray

I have an array which I store different classes which again hold different arrays. All arrays are defined as NSMutabelArrays.
When I want to delete an object in an array, my app crashes. This is my code:
NSLog(#"string to be deleted:%#", [[[self.myLibrary objectAtIndex:self.currentNoteBookNumber] tabReference] objectAtIndex:tid]);
NSLog(#"string to be deleted:%#", [[[self.myLibrary objectAtIndex:self.currentNoteBookNumber] tabColours] objectAtIndex:tid]);
NSLog(#"string to be deleted:%#", [[[self.myLibrary objectAtIndex:self.currentNoteBookNumber] tabTitles] objectAtIndex:tid]);
[[[self.myLibrary objectAtIndex:self.currentNoteBookNumber] tabReference] removeObjectAtIndex:tid];
[[[self.myLibrary objectAtIndex:self.currentNoteBookNumber] tabColours] removeObjectAtIndex:tid];
[[[self.myLibrary objectAtIndex:self.currentNoteBookNumber] tabTitles] removeObjectAtIndex:tid];
And this is the console output:
2011-05-01 22:03:40.788 M[61452:207] string to be deleted:2
2011-05-01 22:03:40.789 M[61452:207] string to be deleted:Orange
2011-05-01 22:03:40.791 M[61452:207] string to be deleted:Art
2011-05-01 22:03:40.806 M[61452:207] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSRangeException', reason: '*** -[NSMutableArray objectAtIndex:]: index 0 beyond bounds for empty array'
I don't really know what I'm doing wrong. There is obviously something in the array, so it shouldn't be 0. I mean it is the ONLY thing stored in the array at the moment, but that shouldn't be a problem, I guess?
I'd be very grateful for any help on this.
EDIT:
I think I haven't provided enough code. This is the method in which I set up myLibrary:
-(void) setupLibrary {
myLibrary = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
NoteBook *newNoteBook = [[NoteBook alloc] init];
newNoteBook.titleName = #"TEST";
NSMutableArray *ttArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[ttArray addObject:#"Art"];
NSMutableArray *tcArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[tcArray addObject:#"Orange"];
NSMutableArray *trArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[trArray addObject: [NSNumber numberWithInteger:2]];
newNoteBook.tabTitles = ttArray;
newNoteBook.tabColours = tcArray;
newNoteBook.tabReference = trArray;
[myLibrary addObject:newNoteBook];
currentNoteBookNumber = 0;
[newNoteBook release];
[ttArray release];
[tcArray release];
[trArray release];
}
Now it appears that if I delete, for instance, one object in the tabTitles array (e.g. "Art"), I delete the entire newNoteBook object. I.e. once I delete a string in tabTitles, all other strings at the same position in tabColours or tabReference will be deleted as well. Why is this so?
The following code will crash after I successfully deleted the string # position 0 in an array in my class which is stored in another array:
NSLog(#"string deleted:%#", [[[self.myLibrary objectAtIndex:0] tabReference] objectAtIndex:0]);
[[[self.myLibrary objectAtIndex:0] tabReference] removeObjectAtIndex:0];
NSLog(#"string deleted:%#", [[[self.myLibrary objectAtIndex:0] tabColours] objectAtIndex:0]);
[[[self.myLibrary objectAtIndex:0] tabColours] removeObjectAtIndex:0];
Don't know what's the problem here, but you should consider to keep your arrays safe:
if([yourArray count] > tid) {
[yourArray removeObjectAtIndex.tid;
}
Your error
-[NSMutableArray objectAtIndex:]: index 0
is telling that you are trying to get an object at index 0 not that you want to remove it. So I think what you did is you called the method where you have your reading and removing code 2 times in a row. Try to see it that is the case.

iPhone, show NSMutable Array containing NSStrings in UIPickerView

I have a method with the following code:
NSMutableArray *pickerArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
int i;
for(i = 1; i <= 7; i++) {
NSString *myString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", i];
[pickerArray addObject:myString];
}
for(i = 1; i <= 7; i++) {
NSString *fieldName = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"column%d", i];
[self setValue:pickerArray forKey:fieldName]; // setValue or initWithArray ???
[fieldName release];
[pickerArray release];
}
srandom(time(NULL));
When I build the application everything builds correctly but it crashes on start in the console i get the following error:
* -[NSCFString superview]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x380da90
* Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -[NSCFString superview]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x380da90'
If instead of using an array containing strings I use UIImageView containing UIImages then everything works correctly...
I only would like to populate my picker with an array of numbers from 1 to 50...
Any help would be really appreciated... this thing is driving me mad :)
I don't think you want [myString release]; in your first for loop as the string you create is auto-released (rule of thumb, anything that is created without alloc, init, or new is auto-released)
Problem solved.... was something to do with the number of element in the pickerview, nothing to do with the method itself! Thanks anyway!

can anyone help for
1) to append [data appendString:tempName];
2) to append int value ([data appendString:tempAvgMark]; ) into data
thanks
You're trying to append a nil, which is illegal. You can easily get around this by changing the line in question to the following:
[data appendString:(tempName == nil ? #"" : tempName)];
Or replace that empty string with whatever else you want. To append a non-string value, convert it to a string like this:
[data appendString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%i", tempAvgMark]];
If tempAvgMark is not an 'int', you'll have to change the %i. For example, for NSNumbers, use %# instead.
The object for the key #"NAME" in the dictionary has to be a string, and to append an int you can use [string appendFormat:#"%d", someInt].
It appears from this message: NSCFString appendString:]: nil argument' that one of the dictionary values is null
