You can do:

if([theName isEqualToString:@"John Lenon"])
	//do stuff

NSString has some comparison methods in the class listing. The above example will ask two different NSString objects if they have the same string values.

Hi All,

Anybody know where can I get some examples of if() conditionals being used
with string variables in Objective-C?


To be specific, I am trying to use an if conditional to check the value of a
string being a certain value and then replacing it with a different value if
the condition returns TRUE.
Currently I have:


NSString *theName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@", [firstName
stringValue], [lastName stringValue]];

I thought that this would work but it doesn't:

if ([NSString theName] == @"John Lenon") {

// then something here using setStringValue but haven't got a clue how to do
this.


}

I want to check if "theName is currently "John Lenon" and change it to be
"Ringo Starr".


Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks as I am a complete newbie and
need to get my head around many things in Objective-C.
