How do I check if a string contains another string in Objective-C?

Question

How can I check if a string (NSString) contains another smaller string?

I was hoping for something like:

NSString *string = @\"hello bla

Try this:

Swift 4.1 , 4.2:

let stringData = "Black board"

//swift quick way and case sensitive
if stringData.contains("bla") {
    print("data contains string");
}

//case sensitive
if stringData.range(of: "bla",options: .caseInsensitive) != nil {
    print("data contains string");
}else {
    print("data does not contains string");
}

For Objective-C:

NSString *stringData = @"Black board";

//Quick way and case sensitive
if ([stringData containsString:@"bla"]) {
    NSLog(@"data contains string");
}

//Case Insensitive
if ([stringData rangeOfString:@"bla" options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch].location != NSNotFound) {
   NSLog(@"data contains string");
}else {
   NSLog(@"data does not contain string");
}
