I'm a java guy coming over to Objective-C. In java, to add a variable to a string you'd have to do something along the lines of:
someString = "This string is equal to " + someNumber + ".";
I can't figure out how to do it in Objective-C though. I have an NSMutableString
that I'd like to add to the middle of a string. How do I go about doing this?
I've tried:
NSString *someText = @"Lorem ipsum " + someMutableString;
NSString *someText = @"Lorem ipsum " + [someMutableString stringForm];
and a few other things, none of which seem to work. Also interchanged the +
s with ,
s.
You can use
appendString:
, but in general, I prefer:or, alternatively:
etc...
These strings are autoreleased, so take care not to lose their value. If necessary, retain or copy them and release them yourself later.
Try this:
You need to use
stringByAppendingString
Don't forget to
[string release];
when your done of course.
