How to use strings in Objective-C
The string in Objective-C programming dialect is spoken to utilizing NSString and its subclass NSMutableString gives a few approaches to making string articles. The most straightforward approach to make a string item is to utilize the Objective-C @"..." build:
NSString *greeting = @"Hello";A straightforward sample for making and printing a string is demonstrated as follows.
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>;
int main ()
{
NSString *greeting = @"Hello";
NSLog(@"Greeting message: %@\n", greeting );
return 0;
}
When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces result something as follows:

Objective-C supports a wide range of methods for manipulate strings:
S.N. | Method & Purpose |
---|---|
1 | - (NSString *)capitalizedString; Returns a capitalized representation of the receiver. |
2 | - (unichar)characterAtIndex:(NSUInteger)index; Returns the character at a given array position. |
3 | - (double)doubleValue; Returns the floating-point value of the receiver’s text as a double. |
4 | - (float)floatValue; Returns the floating-point value of the receiver’s text as a float. |
5 | - (BOOL)hasPrefix:(NSString *)aString; Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether a given string matches the beginning characters of the receiver. |
6 | - (BOOL)hasSuffix:(NSString *)aString; Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether a given string matches the ending characters of the receiver. |
7 | - (id)initWithFormat:(NSString *)format ...; Returns an NSString object initialized by using a given format string as a template into which the remaining argument values are substituted. |
8 | - (NSInteger)integerValue; Returns the NSInteger value of the receiver’s text. |
9 | - (BOOL)isEqualToString:(NSString *)aString; Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether a given string is equal to the receiver using a literal Unicode-based comparison. |
10 | - (NSUInteger)length; Returns the number of Unicode characters in the receiver. |
11 | - (NSString *)lowercaseString; Returns lowercased representation of the receiver. |
12 | - (NSRange)rangeOfString:(NSString *)aString; Finds and returns the range of the first occurrence of a given string within the receiver. |
13 | - (NSString *)stringByAppendingFormat:(NSString *)format ...; Returns a string made by appending to the receiver a string constructed from a given format string and the following arguments. |
14 | - (NSString *)stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:(NSCharacterSet *)set; Returns a new string made by removing from both ends of the receiver characters contained in a given character set. |
15 | - (NSString *)substringFromIndex:(NSUInteger)anIndex ; Returns a new string containing the characters of the receiver from the one at a given index to the end. |
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>;
int main ()
{
NSString *str1 = @"Hello";
NSString *str2 = @"World";
NSString *str3;
NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
/* uppercase string */
str3 = [str2 uppercaseString]
NSLog(@"Uppercase String : %@\n", str3 );
/* concatenates str1 and str2 */
str3 = [str1 stringByAppendingFormat:@"World"];
NSLog(@"Concatenated string: %@\n", str3 );
/* total length of str3 after concatenation */
len = [str3 length];
NSLog(@"Length of Str3 : %d\n", len );
/* InitWithFormat */
str3 = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%@ %@",str1,str2];
NSLog(@"Using initWithFormat: %@\n", str3 );
[pool drain];
return 0;
}
When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces result something as follows:
