Copy functionality in iOS by using UIPasteboard

Question

 NSString *copyStringverse = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%@",[textview.text]];
 UIPasteboard *pb = [UIPasteboard generalPasteboard];
 [pb setString:copyStringverse];

I am using above code for copying contents in textview,but I want to copy contents in a cell of the table. How to do this. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Well you don't say exactly how you have your table view cell set up, but if it's just text inside your table view it could be as easy as:

// provided you actually have your table view cell
NSString *copyStringverse = yourSelectedOrClickedTableViewCell.textLabel.text;
UIPasteboard *pb = [UIPasteboard generalPasteboard];
[pb setString:copyStringverse];

Answer 2

[UIPasteboard generalPasteboard].string = @"Copy me!";

Answer 3

For Swift 3.x

UIPasteboard.general.string = "String to copy"

Answer 4

For Swift 2.1+:

let cell = tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath) as! UITableViewCell // change this to your custom cell if you use one
UIPasteboard.generalPasteboard().string = cell.textLabel.text

Answer 5

For Swift2.2

UIPasteboard.generalPasteboard().string = tableViewCell.textLabel.text

By using this you can directly set the value to UIPasteboard.
