iOS Index of Substring

[MaDDaemoN]

Hello, im a java developer, now trying to learn objective c. I got one problem while developing app. The concept of app is to download some html page and to parse values from tables.

On java it is easy to parse some substring:

s="<td>Hello world</td>";   
s=s.substring(s.indexOf("<td>")+4);   
s=s.substring(0,s.indexOf("</td>"));

So string s will contain Hello World.

But i did not find such method as substring in NSString class.
How can i do such task in Ob-C?

Take a look at the NSScanner class. Or read the "String Programming Guide for Cocoa".

I`ve read Cocoa string article already, but i did not find it helpfull. NSScanner also does not provide claimed functionality.

Not even the Searching, Comparing, and Sorting Strings section?

NSScanner also does not provide claimed functionality.

NSString *html = @"<td>Hello world!</td>";
NSString *substring;
	
NSScanner *scanner = [[NSScanner alloc] initWithString:html];
[scanner scanUpToString:@"<td>" intoString:nil];
[scanner scanString:@"<td>" intoString:nil];
[scanner scanUpToString:@"</td>" intoString:&substring];
	
NSLog(@"Found string '%@'", substring);
