NSPredicate for evaluating a String


How do I evaluate a string using NSPredicate?

I have used NSPredicateControl and String manipulations to get something like, N92 BEGINSWITH[cd] "n". I want to evaluate this to get a True/False value. How do I get that? Any suggestions ?


Solution

  • Try this:-

    NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"SELF BEGINSWITH[cd]%@", @"n"];
    NSString *yourValue=@"nndfj";
    BOOL result = [predicate evaluateWithObject:yourValue];
    if (result ==YES)
    {
        NSLog(@"Word begin with n");
    }
    else{
        NSLog(@"Word does not begin with n");
    }
