Question

I need to extract a string from a string. Only trouble is working out how to specifically in my case.

Lets say this is the master string:

City = My City;
Street = My Street 1\nMy Street 2;

So, I would want to extract these three things separately:
My City, My Street 1 and My Street 2.

So I how would I do so?

Answer 1

You can use componentsSeparatedByString:<#(NSString *)#> method of the String, it will give you Array of Split Strings.

In your case, Do

NSArray * array = [YourString componentsSeparatedByString:@" = "];

At [array objectAtIndex:2] you will find “My Street 1\nMy Street 2;” (considering String starts as “My Street 1\nMy Street 2;”)

Then you can again Split them by <#(NSString *)#> in your case @”\n”
