Ok so I am trying to integrate twitter into my iPhone app. I have a UIWebView, and when the user presses the tweet button, I would like the current url to be prefilled into a tweet using the twitter addURL method. The problem is that the current url is formatted for mobile devices, and I would like tweets to show the full version of the website. All of the tweets would link to the same domain, so here are the link formats that I am dealing with.

Mobile URL: http://www.website.com/mobile/news/123456

Fullsite URL: http://www.website.com/podium/default.aspx?t=204&nid=123456

What I have done so far (just showing part of the twitter integration code):

  [twitter addURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"www.website.com/podium/default.aspx?t=204&nid="]]];

So my question is, is there a way to take the identifying numbers from the mobile site and append them onto the fullsite that will be included in the tweet? I just don’t know much about parsing url’s (if that is what needs to be done in this situation) so any help is appreciated. Thanks

    You are very close. Because you are using stringWithFormat you just need to add a format string to your argument. Let’s say that you have the id as an int variable called theID:

    int myID = 123456;
    [twitter addURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@”www.website.com/podium/default.aspx?t=204&nid=%i”, myID]]];

    I suggest taking a look at the String Programming Guide for clarification.
