Question

I have an NSString which when logged gives me an answer like this one:

Response: oauth_token_secret=6h8hblp42jfowfy&oauth_token=9tmqsojggieln6z

The two numbers change every single time.

Is there a way to extract the two numbers and create two strings with one of each??

Like:

NSString *key = @"9tmqsojggieln6z";

Answer 1

//copy the string in a new string variable
NSMutableString *auth_token = [NSMutableString stringWithString:response];

NSRange match = [auth_token rangeOfString: @"&oauth_token="];
[auth_token deleteCharactersInRange: NSMakeRange(0, match.location+13)];
//auth_token will now have the auth token string

NSMutableString *auth_token_secret = [NSMutableString stringWithString:response];
NSRange range1 = [auth_token_secret rangeOfString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"&oauth_token=%@", auth_token]];
[auth_token_secret deleteCharactersInRange:range1];
NSRange range2 = [auth_token_secret rangeOfString:@"oauth_token_secret="];
[auth_token_secret deleteCharactersInRange: range2];

//auth_token_secret will have the required secret string.
