Question

I have a UITextField in which you can enter only numbers and period “,”
This is how it’s made:

#define NUMBERS @"0123456789"
#define NUMBERSPERIOD   @"0123456789,"

- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string {

NSCharacterSet *cs;
NSString *filtered;

// Check for period
if ([textFieled.text rangeOfString:@","].location == NSNotFound) {

    cs = [[NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:NUMBERSPERIOD] invertedSet];
    filtered = [[string componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet:cs] componentsJoinedByString:@""];
    return [string isEqualToString:filtered];
}

// Period is in use
cs = [[NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:NUMBERS] invertedSet];
filtered = [[string componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet:cs] componentsJoinedByString:@""];

return [string isEqualToString:filtered];

}

Now I want to limit the digits entered after “,” to just 2. I’m not sure how to do this?

Answer 1

int positionOfPeriod = [filtered rangeOfString:@","].location;
filtered = [filtered substringToIndex: MIN(positionOfPeriod+3, [filtered length])];
