How we converted NSAttributed String Backed to NSString

Question

I am changing the font of textview, after I get attributed string then I use to pass it to another controller which also shows me attributed string. I would like to convert attributed string to NSString (with specific font which I have changed).

I am using

NSData *data = [NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:text.attributedText];
NSAttributedString *nas = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithData:data
                                                           options:nil
                                                documentAttributes:NULL
                                                             error:NULL];

NSString *str = [nas string];

Which shows below log:

Actually NSAttributedString has string property:

NSString *result = myAttributedString.string;

You can covert attributed string to string using following line of code :

self.txtView.text = [attributedstring string];

but I suggest its better use as attribute text like below :

self.txtView.attributedText = attributedstring;
