NSString with \n or line break

Question

Does anyone know how to use line breaks in NSString? I need to do something like this -

[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@,\n%@", mystring1,mystring2];

Answer 1

\n\r seems working for me.

I am using Xcode 4.6 with IOS 6.0 as target. Tested on iPhone 4S. Try it by yourself.

If your string is going in a UIView (e.g a UILabel), you also need to set the number of lines to 0

myView.numberOfLines=0;

Answer 3

I found that when I was reading strings in from a .plist file, occurrences of "\n" were parsed as "\\n". The solution for me was to replace occurrences of "\\n" with "\n". For example, given an instance of NSString named myString read in from my .plist file, I had to call...

myString = [myString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"\\n" withString:@"\n"];

... before assigning it to my UILabel instance...

myLabel.text = myString;

Line breaks character for NSString is \r

correct way to use [NSString StringWithFormat:@"%@\r%@",string1,string2];

\r ----> carriage return
