Question

I am using code to check if a word is in my array, if it is I want it to submit it and I have the code for it. If it isn’t I want it to pop up a screen. now this all works, the only thing is the screen pops up 2 times, because there are 2 words in my array. here is the code to explain it a little better.

NSArray *searchContacts = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                           @"CADEAU",
                           @"KADERZ",nil];
NSString *myContact = labelsText.text;

for (NSString *contact in searchContacts) {
    if ([contact isEqualToString:myContact]) {

this is where I put in my words, CADEAU & KADERZ in this case. When I put one of these words into labelsText.text it does exactly what I want. but for the else statement if the labels text.text word is not CADEAU or KADERZ, it pop ups a screen:

else {
 UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc]

This screen will pup up 2 times now, so i’ll have to press dismiss 2 times, how would I fix this to just have to press dismiss one time no mather how many words are in the array?

Answer 1

Put a break; after the code showing your alert:

for (NSString *contact in searchContacts) {
    if ([contact isEqualToString:myContact]) {
        // do something
    } else { 
        // show screen
        break;
    }
}

This will ‘break’ out of the loop.
