How can I find a line number in Xcode?

Question

I have a function in my *.m file

- (void)myFunction {}

How can I find the line number this function?

Answer 1

You can go to:

Xcode > Preferences > Text Editing

then tick "Line numbers". Go to your method and you'll see the appropriate line number shown in the left-hand border of the text editor.

Answer 2

Shortcut cmd+L. Enter line number.

or

cmd+O. $CLASS_NAME:$LINE_NUMBER.

And your XCode goes to the line and highlights it!

Answer 3

Keep Xcode top on Mac-Screen than press "command" and "comma key btn" a xcode preferences popbox will open given below: than click on "Text Editing" menu below given window will open here you on top written "show" with "Line numbers" just check it and thats it.

Happy Coding!!!

Answer 4

This can also be done through code when your implementation file grows. I have found this very useful to track and debug through tedious code. NSLog(@"\nFunction: %s\t\tLine: %d\n\n",func, LINE);

For example, in some class called MyClass:

- (void) someFunction {
    NSLog(@"\nFunction: %s\tLine: %d\n\n",__func__, __LINE__);
}

==== Output ===

Function: -[myClass someFunction]          Line: 175
