How do you check if an NSString begins with a certain character (the character *).
The * is an indicator for the type of the cell, so I need the contents of this NSString without the *, but need to know if the * exists.
You can use the -hasPrefix:
method of NSString
:
NSString* output = nil; if([string hasPrefix:@"*"]) output = [string substringFromIndex:1];
