- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string 
{
    NSString * length;   
    NSString *currentString = [textField.text stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:range withString:string];
length = [currentString length];
if (length > 1)
{

    looprange = _looptext.text;
    UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Please ! "
                                        message:@"Insert Single Characters !!"
                                                   delegate:self
                                          cancelButtonTitle:@"OK"
                                          otherButtonTitles:nil];
    [alert show];
    return NO;

}
