Question

I want to place a string within a string. Basically in pseudo code:

"first part of string" + "(varying string)" + "third part of string"

How can I do this in objective-c? Is there a way to easily concatenate in obj-c? Thanks!

Yes, do

NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"first part %@ second part", varyingString];

For concatenation you can use stringByAppendingString

NSString *str = @"hello ";
str = [str stringByAppendingString:@"world"]; //str is now "hello world"

For multiple strings

NSString *varyingString1 = @"hello";
NSString *varyingString2 = @"world";
NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@ %@", varyingString1, varyingString2];
//str is now "hello world"
