Basically, below I am posting a function that posts a chat in a chatroom (calling other functions of course). This works perfectly. However, my app got rejected by Apple due to the possibility of inappropriate content appearing in my chatroom. So, I decided to filter out inappropriate content by making an array of inappropriate words, iterating through that array using a for loop and search in the user's posted message (under the variable message) for an inappropriate word, and replacing that word with the amount of * depending on the length of the words. Below is my code, but I am missing some stuff. Please tell me what code to add, or a better way to do this. Here is my code (NOTE: BLACKLIST IS MY ARRAY OF INAPPROPRIATE WORDS):
- (void)displayChatMessage:(NSString*)message fromUser:(NSString*)userName {
int i=0;
int goodJobRunCount = 0;
for (i=0; i<[blackList count]; i++)
{
NSString *car = [blackList objectAtIndex:i];
NSRange searchResult = [message rangeOfString:car];
if (searchResult.location == NSNotFound) {
goodJobRunCount=goodJobRunCount+1;
if (goodJobRunCount >= i){
message2= [NSString stringWithFormat:message];
}
} else{
NSUInteger length= searchResult.length;
int runLength = 0;
message2 = [NSString stringWithFormat:@""];
while (runLength < length){
NSString *string2 = [message2 stringByAppendingFormat:
@"*"];
message2 = [NSString stringWithFormat:string2];
runLength = runLength +1;
}
}
}
[chat appendTextAfterLinebreak:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@: %@", userName, message]];
[chat scrollToBottom:chat];
}
why don't you just run in loop something like
for(int i = 0 ;i < blacklist.count;i++)
{
NSMutableString* stars = [NSMutableString alloc]init];
NSRange searchResult = [message rangeOfString:(NSString*)[blackList objectAtIndex:
if (searchResult.location == NSNotFound)
continue;//break or whatever is it in obj-c
for(int j = 0 ; j < (NSString*)[blackList objectAtIndex:i].length;j++)
[stars appendString:@"*"];
message = [message stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:(NSString*)[blackList objectAtIndex:i] withString:stars];
}
