How do I use NSRange with this NSString?

Question

I have the following NSString:

productID = @\"com.sortitapps.themes.pink.book\";

At the end, \"book\" can be anything.... \"music\

Answer 1

Well, although this isn't a generic solution for finding characters, in your particular case you can "cheat" and save code by doing this:

[productID stringByDeletingPathExtension];

Essentially, I'm treating the name as a filename and removing the last (and only the last) extension using the NSString method for this purpose.
