Question

I am retrieving data from webservice like this

NSString *str_Txt = [rootElement stringValueForNode:@"info"];
NSLog(@"str_Txt is %@",str_Txt);   // Data Receive


output:

str_Txt is \n\n\nInfo \n\n\nSebastian Vettel \n\n Alonso

I want when \n comes line will break

like this

textview.text  = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", str_Txt];
NSLog(@"textview is %@",textview.text);

output:    // supposing output

textview is


Info


Sebastian Vettel


Alonso

but the problem is that the when i run that code output again come like this:

textview is \n\n\nInfo \n\n\nSebastian Vettel \n\n Alonso

Line is not breaking. \n is not working.

I want to do something like this:

// textview.text =@"\n\n\nInfo \n\n\nSebastian Vettel \n\n Alonso";
textview.text  = @""%@",[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", str_Txt]";
NSLog(@"textview is %@",textview.text);

so that my output will shoe like this:

output: // supposing output

textview is


Info


Sebastian Vettel


Alonso

Any idea, how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I think the text which you’re getting is showing you “\n” and hence as Carl Norum mentioned, these are not new line character but normal literal string. You can try to replace the occurrence of “\\n” with “\n“.

NSString *new = [old stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString: @"\\n" withString:@"\n"];

This should help you achieve what you’re trying to achieve.
