Question

I have a string like: "mocktail, wine, beer"

How can I convert this into: "mocktail", "wine", "beer"?

Answer 1

NSString *string = @"mocktail, wine, beer";
//remove whitespaces
NSString *trimmedString = [string stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];

//get array of string
NSArray *array = [trimmedString componentsSeparatedByString:@","];
NSMutableArray *newArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

for (NSString *trimmedString in array) {
    NSString *newString = [NSMutableString stringWithFormat:@"'%@'", trimmedString];
    [newArray addObject:newString];
}

//merge new strings
NSString *finalString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", [newArray objectAtIndex:0]];

for (NSInteger i = 1; i < [newArray count]; i++) {
        finalString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@, %@", finalString, [newArray objectAtIndex:i]];
}
