I have a text with http:// in NSString. I want to get that http link from the NSString. How can i get the link/url from the string? Eg: ‘Stack over flow is very useful link for the beginners https://stackoverflow.com/‘. I want to get the ‘https://stackoverflow.com/‘ from the text. How can i do this? Thanks in advance.

I am not sure what you exactly mean by link but if you want to convert your NSString to NSURL than you can do the following:

NSString *urlString = @"http://somepage.com";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];

EDIT

This is how to get all URLs in a given NSString:

NSString *str = @"This is a grate website http://xxx.xxx/xxx you must check it out"; 

NSArray *arrString = [str componentsSeparatedByString:@" "];

for(int i=0; i<arrString.count;i++){
    if([[arrString objectAtIndex:i] rangeOfString:@"http://"].location != NSNotFound)
        NSLog(@"%@", [arrString objectAtIndex:i]);
}
