I am working on project in which I took a texview and its delegate method below
-(void)textViewDidChange:(UITextView *)textView
{
NSMutableAttributedString *attstr = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc]initWithString:textView.text];
NSUInteger characterCount = [attstr length];
NSString *str = @"football";
NSUInteger searchlength = [str length];
NSRange range1 = NSMakeRange(0, attstr.length);
while (range1.location != NSNotFound) {
range1 =[attstr.string rangeOfString:str options:0 range:range1];
if (range1.location !=NSNotFound) {
[attstr addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName value:[UIColor redColor] range:NSMakeRange(range1.location, searchlength)];
[attstr addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:20.0] range:range1];
range1 = NSMakeRange(range1.location + range1.length, characterCount -(range1.location + range1.length));
textView.attributedText = attstr;
}
}
}
Now in that method, I am finding keyword "football" and change its color to redcolor. Here I am searching for a single string, So what should I do for checking for multiple strings like array
My problem is How can I find multiple strings at a time into text of textview.
Please help me with it
Thank you
I achieved this thing like this
-(void)textViewDidChange:(UITextView *)textView
{
NSMutableAttributedString *attstr = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc]initWithString:textView.text];
NSUInteger characterCount = [attstr length];
NSArray *arr = [[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects:@"football",@"player",nil];
for (int i=0; i<arr.count; i++) {
NSUInteger searchlength = [[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[arr objectAtIndex:i]] length];
NSRange range1 = NSMakeRange(0, attstr.length);
while (range1.location != NSNotFound) {
range1 =[attstr.string rangeOfString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[arr objectAtIndex:i]] options:0 range:range1];
if (range1.location !=NSNotFound) {
[attstr addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName value:[UIColor redColor] range:NSMakeRange(range1.location, searchlength)];
[attstr addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:20.0] range:range1];
range1 = NSMakeRange(range1.location + range1.length, characterCount -(range1.location + range1.length));
textView.attributedText = attstr;
}
}
}
