Truncate UILabel in specific location

Question

I use a table view to show a list of books, where each cell has a UILabel that shows the book\'s name and another UILabel the shows the book\'s aut

Answer 1

UILabel cannot handle such truncate function other than under iOS 7. either you should truncate the string according to the fixed(calculated with uilabel font size) length yourself but that's a headache, or you can use two UILabels. 1st uilabel with fixed size for first author. it will auto truncate at the end as you know already. then the 2nd uilabel should be drawn exactly on the righ side of first label with of " + 2 other authors".

Edit: take a look at @Stonz2 answer
