Question

When I parse a description of a news from the rss, there is a link in this format:

Little invention of the 4 april 2012 (index.php?option=com_content task=view id=157 Itemid=100).

I want to present a hyperlink with link-text:

Little invention of the 4 april 2012

and link-adress:

index.php?option=com_content task=view id=157 Itemid=100

How do I do it?

Answer 1

You can obtain needed strings like this:

NSString *string = [NSString stringWithString:@"Little invention of the 4 april 2012 (index.php?option=com_content task=view id=157 Itemid=100)"];
int linkStartIndex = [string rangeOfString:@"(" options:NSBackwardsSearch].location;
NSString *name = [string substringToIndex:linkStartIndex];
NSString *adress = [string substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(linkStartIndex+1, string.length-linkStartIndex-2)];
NSLog(@"\nname = [%@], \naddress = [%@]", name, adress);

Than if you use UIWebView to present it, add to the html of your webView this string:

NSString *linkTag = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"<a href=\"%@\">%@</a>", adress, name];
