Comparing text in UITextView?

Question

How can we compare the text entered in UITextVIew with my default text in code to determine whether they are both the same or not?

Answer 1

 if([textfield.text isEqualToString:yourtext])
{
   //true;
}
else
{
//false
}

Answer 2

I think this should work for you:

Though this is a case sensitive comparison of string

 BOOL boolVal = [textView.text isEqualToString:@"My Default Text"];

Here is how you can do case insensitive comparison of string:

BOOL boolVal = [textView.text compare:@"My Default Text" options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch]

Here if boolVal is YES then you can say that strings are same else they are different.

Hope this helps you.

Answer 3

You can use the methods of NSString for this.

1: isEqualToString: (case-sensitive)

if( [ myString isEqualToString: otherString ] )
{}

2: caseInsensitiveCompare: (case-insensitive)

if( [ myString caseInsensitiveCompare: otherString ] )
{}

3: localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare: (case-insensitive and localized)

if( [ myString localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare: otherString ] )
{}

Answer 4

First is to compare with the value abc and second is to compare with the String * str.

[textfield1.text isEqualToString:@"abc"]

or

[textfield1.text isEqualToString:str];
