iOS Problem with NSStrings

[alexandergre]

This code works correctly. It loads the google.com in UIWebVIew.

		NSLog(aBook.title);  //output is :Yahoo
		NSLog(aBook.author); //output is : http://www.yahoo.com
			
		NSString *path = [[B]NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://www.google.com"[/B]];
		NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:path];
		NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
		[myWebView loadRequest:request];

But not this one. How can I fix this. I dont understand.

		NSLog(aBook.title);  //output is :Yahoo
		NSLog(aBook.author); //output is : http://www.yahoo.com
			
		NSString *path = [[B]NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",aBook.author[/B]];
		NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:path];
		NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
		[myWebView loadRequest:request];

What exactly is not working? Are you getting any run-time errors?

sorry if I reply so late. Been away.
The URL wont load in the UIwebview.
NO run time errors. If you want I can upload the project. Its really strange.

Might as well. My code test loads Yahoo just fine.

Thanks. I'll look into it.

Before I do that though, here's a suggestion: the proper way to use NSLog

NSLog(@"%@", aBook.title);  //output is :Yahoo
NSLog(@"%@", aBook.author); //output is : http://www.yahoo.com

Thank you man.
I really appreciate it.

Here's your problem:
aBook.author doesn't contain "http://www.yahoo.com". It contains "/nhttp:www.yahoo.com".

How did I figure this out? Simple. I put a breakpoint at the line that assigns path and used the Debugger window to tell me what path was getting assigned. So, the lesson is: use breakpoints and use the Debugger!

Been an iPhone developer since July 2008. Other languages? How much time you got? I'll give you the major ones, starting with programming the Commodore PET in 1981: BASIC, 6502 Assembler, C, Nomad, PL/SQL, Java.
