Validate NSString
- by Chris
I am validating an NSString to ensure that the string does not contain apostrophes.
The code I'm using to do this is
NSCharacterSet * invalidNumberSet = [NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:@"'"];
NSScanner * scanner = [NSScanner scannerWithString:string];
NSString * scannerResult;
[scanner setCharactersToBeSkipped:nil];
[scanner scanUpToCharactersFromSet:invalidNumberSet intoString:&scannerResult];
if(![string isEqualToString:scannerResult])
{
return 2;
}
Returning 2 represents an error. This code works, except for the case where the string is an apostrophe.
To get around this issue, I added the following code above the preceding block.
if([string isEqualToString:@"'"]);
{
return 2;
}
This code is evaluating to true, regardless of the input. I need to either prevent the first block from crashing with the input of ', or get the second block to work.
What am I missing?
