Shortcuts in Objective-C to concatenate NSStrings

Question

Are there any shortcuts to (stringByAppendingString:) string concatenation in Objective-C, or shortcuts for working with NSString in general?

Answer 1

Either of these formats work in XCode7 when I tested:

NSString *sTest1 = {@"This" " and that" " and one more"};
NSString *sTest2 = {
  @"This"
  " and that"
  " and one more"
};

NSLog(@"\n%@\n\n%@",sTest1,sTest2);

For some reason, you only need the @ operator character on the first string of the mix.

However, it doesn't work with variable insertion. For that, you can use this extremely simple solution with the exception of using a macro on "cat" instead of "and".
