Question

I have five text boxes that are subclassed views that cycle values from an array when touched. They are all blank to start off with.

If the box receives a value of @"\u2714"I want to fill the others automatically with N/A.

What ive tried so far dosent change the the text box values when @"\u2714" is received. Not sure what im doing wrong here?

here is my nsarray: //self.valuesArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"\u2714", @"X", @"LIM", @"N/A", nil];

If I set the string to any of the values from the array, the text boxes do not populate with N/A. If I set the isEqualToString:sting to @"" I can get my text box values to all default to N/A, but not based on any inputs from when cycling through the array

    self.tncsTapView.textValue = ([self attributeWithName:@"systemTypeTncs"]).value;
    if ([self.tncsTapView.textValue isEqualToString:@"X"]){
    self.tncTapView.textValue = @"N/A";
    self.tnsTapView.textValue = @"N/A";
    self.itTapView.textValue = @"N/A";
    self.ttTapView.textValue = @"N/A";
    }
    self.tnsTapView.textValue = ([self attributeWithName:@"systemTypeTns"]).value;
    if ([self.tnsTapView.textValue isEqualToString:@""]){
    self.tncsTapView.textValue = @"N/A";

A backslash in an NSString is represented by two consecutive backslashes. In all your if statements, try the following:

if ([self.tncsTapView.textValue isEqualToString:@"\\u2714"])
