Objective-C - How To Remove Characters From a String?
- by iAm
I have a UILable that has a formatted String (formatted for currency), so there is a dollar sign, $21.34.
In the core data entity the attribute is of a type double, I am using an NSDecimalNumber to save to the database.
self.purchase.name = self.nameTextField.text;
NSString *string = self.amountLabel.text
NSDecimalNumber *newAmount = [[NSDecimalNumber alloc] initWithString:string];
NSLog(@"%@", string); // THIS RETURNS NaN, because of dollar sign i think
NSManagedObjectContext *context = self.purchase.managedObjectContext;
NSError *error = nil;
if (![context save:&error])
{
NSLog(@"Unresolved error %@, %@", error, [error userInfo]);
abort();
}
Anyway, I need this to not be NaN, so my thinking is to remove the dollar sign, but i do not know how to do that, or perhaps there is a better way to accomplish my goal.
