Getting variables from a url NSString
About an hour ago I came across a question on StackOverflow about a nice way of getting the variables from a URL like "http://domain.com/action.php?var1=100&variable2=true". I don't really need that feature but I always wanted to investigate the NSScanner Class and even though the hour is quite late, I saw this was my opportunity to do so. So I went on to create a class that, using the NSScanner would perform the task.
The usage is simple:
URLParser *parser = [[[URLParser alloc] initWithURLString:@"http://domain.com/action.php?var1=100&variable2=true"] autorelease]; NSString *var1 = [parser valueForVariable:@"var1"]; NSLog(@"%@", var); //100 NSString *var2 = [parser valueForVariable:@"var2"]; NSLog(@"%@", var2); //(null) NSString *variable2 = [parser valueForVariable:@"variable2"]; NSLog(@"%@", variable2); //true
You have a look at the class and how the NSScanner is used in the source files below.
