Is there a way (crazy hacks welcome) to get the current line as a string of a UITextView? This would include word wrapping, etc. For example, in this case:
The following code solution seem to be working. The "self" in this code refers to an instance of UITextView.
- (NSString *) getLineString:(NSRange)range
{
NSLayoutManager *manager = self.layoutManager;
// Convert it to a glyph range
NSRange matchingGlyphRange = [manager glyphRangeForCharacterRange:range actualCharacterRange:NULL];
// line fragment rect at location range
CGRect rect = [manager lineFragmentRectForGlyphAtIndex:matchingGlyphRange.location effectiveRange:nil];
// obtain the line range for the line fragment rect
NSRange lineRange = [manager glyphRangeForBoundingRect:rect inTextContainer:self.textContainer];
// extract the string out from lineRange
return [self.text substringWithRange:lineRange];
}
// ... later
NSLog(@"line %@", [self getLineString:self.selectedRange]);
