How to separate string by space using Objective-C?

Question

Assume that I have a String like this:

hello world       this may     have lots   of sp:ace or little      space

I would like to seperate this

Answer 1

I'd suggest a two-step aproach:

NSArray *wordsAndEmptyStrings = [yourLongString componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceCharacterSet]];
NSArray *words = [wordsAndEmptyStrings filteredArrayUsingPredicate:[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"length > 0"]];
