Multiple strings in one label

Question

I have a label that needs to display two strings. At the moment I have this:

     self.artistLabel.text = self.string1;

I want to be able to display string 1 and string 2. if possible, I also need to have an "@" symbol in between the two strings. I know it must be simple, I just can't figure it out.

Answer 1

You can do it like this:

self.artistLabel.text = [NSString
    stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@"
,   self.string1
,   self.string2
];

Answer 2

//Create a new string from both string1 and string2 with an "@" in the middle
NSString *artistLabelString = [NSString stringWithFormat:"%@@@%@", self.string1, self.string2];

//Set the label
self.artistLabel.text = artistLabelString;

Just as a BTW, the @@ in the middle gives you a single @.

Answer 3

You can display only one string in one UILabel. However, that string can itself be a combination of multiple strings.

To combine strings, look into methods like stringByAppendingString:.
