如何在Objective-C中测试NSString是否为空?


当前回答

你有两个方法来检查字符串是否为空:

让我们假设你的字符串名字是NSString *strIsEmpty。

方法1:

if(strIsEmpty.length==0)
{
    //String is empty
}

else
{
    //String is not empty
}

方法2:

if([strIsEmpty isEqualToString:@""])
{
    //String is empty
}

else
{
    //String is not empty
}

选择上述任何一种方法,了解字符串是否为空。

我检查了一个空字符串使用以下代码:

//Check if we have any search terms in the search dictionary.
if( (strMyString.text==(id) [NSNull null] || [strMyString.text length]==0 
       || strMyString.text isEqual:@"")) {

   [AlertView showAlert:@"Please enter a valid string"];  
}

你可以检查[string length] == 0。这将检查它是否是一个有效的空字符串(@"")以及它是否为nil,因为在nil上调用length也将返回0。

马克的回答是正确的。但我想借此机会引用Wil Shipley在他的博客上分享的一般化的isEmpty:

static inline BOOL IsEmpty(id thing) {
return thing == nil
|| ([thing respondsToSelector:@selector(length)]
&& [(NSData *)thing length] == 0)
|| ([thing respondsToSelector:@selector(count)]
&& [(NSArray *)thing count] == 0);
}

只需使用一个if else条件,如下所示:

方法1:

if ([yourString isEqualToString:@""]) {
        // yourString is empty.
    } else {
        // yourString has some text on it.
    }

方法2:

if ([yourString length] == 0) {
    // Empty yourString
} else {
    // yourString is not empty
}
//Different validations:
 NSString * inputStr = @"Hey ";

//Check length
[inputStr length]

//Coming from server, check if its NSNull
[inputStr isEqual:[NSNull null]] ? nil : inputStr

//For validation in allowed character set
-(BOOL)validateString:(NSString*)inputStr
{
    BOOL isValid = NO;
    if(!([inputStr length]>0))
    {
        return isValid;

    }

    NSMutableCharacterSet *allowedSet = [NSMutableCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:@".-"];
    [allowedSet formUnionWithCharacterSet:[NSCharacterSet decimalDigitCharacterSet]];
    if ([inputStr rangeOfCharacterFromSet:[allowedSet invertedSet]].location == NSNotFound)
    {
        // contains only decimal set and '-' and '.'

    }
    else
    {
        // invalid
        isValid = NO;

    }
    return isValid;
}
