Question

I’m trying to render my UILabel in multiple line.
i’ve tried:

    CGRect rect2 = CGRectMake(100, 45, 150, 60);
    FontLabel *addresLbl1 = [[FontLabel alloc] initWithFrame:rect2
                                                      fontName:@"arial" pointSize:12.0f];
    //#006000
    addresLbl1.textColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:84/255.0 green:84/255.0 blue:84/255.0 alpha:1.0];
    addresLbl1.text = @"401 King St\\nToronto, Ontario, M5V1K1\\nCanada"; 
    //[addresLbl1 setTextAlignment:UITextAlignmentCenter];
    addresLbl1.backgroundColor = nil;
    addresLbl1.opaque = NO;
    [cell.contentView addSubview:addresLbl1];
    [addresLbl1 release];

but it is rendered as 401 King St\nToronto, Ontario, M5V1K1\nCanada
Note that this label is added on cell of UITableView.
I need new line from the position of ‘\n’ in string and this string will come from server, so position of ‘\n’may vary

Answer 1

You shouldn’t use doubble backslashes.

\\ is the code used for \, so \\n will be parsed and printed as \n

So you’re code should be like this:

addresLbl1.text = @"401 King St\nToronto, Ontario, M5V1K1\nCanada";
addresLbl1.numberOfLines = 0;
