Question

I’m assigning a variable string from an XML node and for some reason when i’m using it later i’m getting it read like this:

edit
The Current URL to parse is a NSLog that is written when the page is loaded from the [loadXML currentCat]]

NSLog:

 Current URL To Parse: <UILongPressGestureRecognizer: 0x677c240; state = Possible; view = <UITableViewCellContentView 0x67780b0>; target= <(action=_longPressGestureRecognized:, target=<UITableViewCell 0x677c340>)

tempFullUrl being set – this is in my class.h

@interface PromotionViewController : UITableViewController {

    NSString *tempFullUrl;
}

@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *tempFullUrl;

@end

It’s also synthasised in the .m

Var being Set:

        NSArray *urlArray = [item elementsForName:kName_url];
        for(CXMLElement *url in urlArray) 
        {
            newobj.urlSearch = url.stringValue;
            tempFullUrl = url.stringValue;
            NSLog(@"Temp Full URL: : %@", tempFullUrl);

            [url release];
            [kName_url release];
        }


        [totalArray addObject:newobj];

    }}

Var being used:

else if(currentType == @"p2FullSearch") {


        NSString *searchType = @"categorySearch";

        PromotionViewController *loadXML = [[PromotionViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"PromotionViewController" bundle:nil];
        [loadXML setCurrentCat: tempFullUrl];
        [loadXML setCurrentType: searchType];

        [self.navigationController pushViewController:loadXML animated:YES];

    }

The app falls over, highlighting the tempFullUrl = url.stringValue; line but doesn’t say why! I assume as the var tempFullUrl is being set weirdly

Any help would be appreciated

You’re not going through your synthesised accessor, so the string is getting released. Use

self.tempFullURL = 

Instead of assigning to the ivar directly. In your case it looks like the area of memory has been reassigned to a gesture recogniser which is showing up in your log statements.
