1) What's the best way to get an NSUInteger from an NSString that has
a string representation of a valid unsigned 32 bit integer
(0..4,294,967,295). There's an [NSString integerValue] and an
[NSString longLongValue] (int64 anyone?), but not convenience methods
on NSString that return an unsigned integer value.
Here's my try: (given an NSString *s with the numerical representation)
...
long long i = [s longLongValue];
// Get the lower 32 bits of i into l
NSUInteger l = (NSUInteger)(i % 4294967296);
'l' should - I hope - now have the NSUInteger value that 's' represents.
2) Also, how can I make an NSTextField only allow valid unsigned 32
bit integers to be typed in?
3) Finally, what's the simplest way to do a search and replace on an
NSString of the form @"x####" (where "#" is replaced with valid
characters in the range '0'..'9') so that I can, in a for-loop from 0
to 9, replace the "x" with a single digit? Something like:
NSString *oldNumber = ...; // Code to obtain the value of oldNumber,
let's say "x103"
for (int i=0; i<10; ++i)
{
NSString *myNewNumber = [oldNumber replaceString:@"x"
withNewString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%u",_
i]];
// do something with myNewNumber...
}
myNewNumber should take on the values; "0103", "1103", "2103", ...
"9103".
I'd like to make this a category on NSString for my number
crunching project I'm working on.
