  • 0

I want to make an sql statement – 

sqlStatement = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"SELECT * FROM movies where title like '%%@%'",searchKeyword];

But sqlStatement is becoming –

“SELECT * FROM movies where title like ‘%@'”

I want to make it

“SELECT * FROM movies where title like ‘%searchKeyword%'”

How can I escape the “%” character?

Thanks

    Try :

    sqlStatement = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"SELECT * FROM movies where title like '%%%@%%'",searchKeyword];

    “%%” is the way of printing the ‘%’ character.
