New NSString Methods in iOS 6

October 29, 2012

iOS 6 introduced a few new methods for NSString objects, converting strings to uppercase, lowercase and capitalizing each word in a string.

The code below shows the three new string conversion methods:

NSString *str = @"mobile developer tips";
 
// Convert string to uppercase
NSString *upperStr = [str uppercaseStringWithLocale:[NSLocale currentLocale]];
NSLog(@"upperStr: %@", upperStr);
 
// Convert string to caps
NSString *capStr = [upperStr capitalizedStringWithLocale:[NSLocale currentLocale]];
NSLog(@"capStr: %@", capStr);
 
// Convert string to lowercase
NSString *lowerStr = [capStr lowercaseStringWithLocale:[NSLocale currentLocale]];
NSLog(@"lowerStr: %@", lowerStr);

The output from the code is shown in below:
