Question

I think I am getting an error when I check my string length. It’s only a recent thing since I updated my Xcode for the new iOS 6.

This is how I am checking my NSStrings length

if ([manuIdString length] != 0) {

Then when the thread hits this.. there is defiantly a value in manuIdString but I get this error.

any help would be greatly appreciated

Answer 1

manuIdString is not an NSString. You have accidentally assigned an NSNumber to it.
