Question

I’m new to the site. Does anyone know if it is possible to take a tweet and split the information in it into separate sections in Xcode? For example …
If the tweet read…
“Sky News:This is the headline:on 12/04/12:This is the body of the message”
can I extract the chunks separated by the colons as separate strings so that one string could be “Sky News” one “This is the headline …etc?
Thanks in advance

With -[NSString componentsSeparatedByString:] you can split the string into an array of strings.

NSArray *arr = [@"This: is: a: string" componentsSeparatedByString:@":"];

Now the array arr will have 4 items.
