Question

I access to a specific element of a NSMutableArray (nid) and save it in a NSString (num).

After that I want concatenate this element (num) with a url (NSMutableString), and use the method appendString but I obtain an exception.

how can I fix this?

below the code:

NSMutableArray nid; 
....

NSUInteger row = [indexPath row];
NSString *num = [nid objectAtIndex:row];

NSMutableString *url = [[NSMutableString alloc]
                        initWithString:@"http://example.com/prova/"];

[url appendString:num];

Answer 1

-[NSCFNumber length]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x4b54de0
* Terminating app due to uncaught exception
‘NSInvalidArgumentException’, reason:
‘-[NSCFNumber length]: unrecognized
selector sent to instance 0x4b54de0’

As per the exception, it looks like objectAtIndex: is returning a NSNumber instead of a NSString. If nid contains numbers, you need to convert them to strings before you can pass them to appendString:

NSUInteger row = [indexPath row];
NSNumber *num = [nid objectAtIndex:row];
NSString *numStr = [num stringValue];

NSMutableString *url = [[NSMutableString alloc]
                        initWithString:@"http://example.com/prova/"];

[url appendString:numStr];

...

[url release];
