Checking whether or not a UITableView cell contains a keyword

Question

I was trying to see if a UITableView cell contains a string.

I have tried using:

if ([cell.textlabel.text rangeOfString:@"Ok"].location !=NSNotFound) 
{
}

But that was no use. It found the text every time no matter what.

Answer 1

You should test if the cell.textlabel.text string is not nil. I've tested your code with a nil value and always returns TRUE.

if(cell.textlabel.text)
{
    if ([cell.textlabel.text rangeOfString:@"Ok"].location !=NSNotFound) 
    {
        ...
    }

}

Answer 2

Try like this below:-

NSString *str=cell.textlabel.text;
if ([str rangeOfString:@"Ok"].location !=NSNotFound) 
{
}
