I am currently receiving a string like this:
@"Sam|26,Hannah|22,Adam|30,Carlie|32,Jan|54"
And I am splitting it like this:
testArray = [[NSArray alloc] init];
NSString *testString = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"Sam|26,Hannah|22,Adam|30,Carlie|32,Jan|54,Steve|56,Matty|24,Bill|30,Rob|30,Jason|33,Mark|22,Stuart|54,Kevin|30"];
testArray = [testString componentsSeparatedByString:@","];
dict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
for (NSString *s in testArray) {
testArray2 = [s componentsSeparatedByString:@"|"];
[dict setObject:[testArray2 objectAtIndex:1] forKey:[testArray2 objectAtIndex:0]];
}
I will now be receiving a string like this:
@"Sam|26|Developer,Hannah|22|Team Leader,Adam|30|Director,Carlie|32|PA,Jan|54|Cleaner"
Can I (and how) use the same method as above to separate the string more than once using the "|" separator?
