Question

I have a string of 4 words, how do I separate it into 2 strings each consisting of two words?
The code:

 NSString * myString= @"AAAA bbbbb CCCC ddddd";

I want to separate this string into 2 strings:

NSString *firstString =@"AAAA bbbbb";
NSString *secondString =@"CCCC ddddd";

You can use NSArray’s componentsSeperatedByString to break the string up into parts. From there you can use some simple string formatting to piece the new strings together from the contents of the array.

NSString *inputString= @"AAAA bbbbb CCCC ddddd";
NSArray *array = [inptString componentsSeparatedByString:@" "];

NSString *outputStringOne = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@", [array objectAtIndex:0], [array objectAtIndex:1]];
NSString *outputStringTwo = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@", [array objectAtIndex:2], [array objectAtIndex:3]];
