Question

I’ve created my own UITabBarController.

Additionally I’ve written a few lines of code to determine the current user.

E.g. if I am the current user do/display this, otherwise do/display this etc…

The format pattern is (firstname Lastname).

The Full name of the current user is in “displayName”.

This is how I set the title of the tab depending on whether I am looking at ‘my’ tabs or someone else’s tabs.

[activities setTitle:[viewingUser objectForKey:@”displayName”]];

I now want to extract only the firstname and display it like so:

“firstname’s”.

I do know of substringToIndex and substringWithRange but I just can’t seem to work it out myself. I reckon I just need to find the first and extract the part it togehter with that [‘s]. Can anybody please point me in the right direction?

Cheers

If first name and last name are separated by a space then simply execute the following statement which returns an NSArray which in your will contain the first and last names.

[displayName componentsSeparatedByString:@" "]
