Convert NSArray to NSString in Objective-C
One approach would be to iterate over the array, calling the description
message on each item:
NSMutableString * result = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
for (NSObject * obj in array)
{
[result appendString:[obj description]];
}
NSLog(@"The concatenated string is %@", result);
Another approach would be to do something based on each item's class:
NSMutableString * result = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
for (NSObject * obj in array)
{
if ([obj isKindOfClass:[NSNumber class]])
{
// append something
}
else
{
[result appendString:[obj description]];
}
}
NSLog(@"The concatenated string is %@", result);
If you want commas and other extraneous information, you can just do:
NSString * result = [array description];
NSString * result = [[array valueForKey:@"description"] componentsJoinedByString:@""];
