how to display the first word in the search table in the iphone app

hii every one in my iphone app i have a search screen & i have some entries in the search bar like sudha, tharanga and womens era (some magazines ) suppose if we search cricket special, it has to show the respective magazine

so i planned to have the 开发者_如何学Ctable view data like follows

sudha  (cricket special, anna hazare special)
tharanga  (footbal special,x special)
womens era (some y special)

and while loading data to the table view by trimming the all data which is present between the brackets ( ) and should i display remaining in the table view

so how can i trim the string in such a way that it should remove the data with in brackets and bracket symbols

so that my table view data should become like this

sudha  
tharanga 
womens era 

, thanx in advance

Regarding trimming the string as per your requirement, I guess the simplest way to go about it is to use the - (NSArray *)componentsSeparatedByString:(NSString *)separator method as follows;

NSArray *anArray = [theFullString componentsSeparatedByString:@"("];

Assuming theFullString = @"womens era (some y special)", the resulting arrays first element would be as @"womens era ". I assume this works fine.

Use this nnstring method to get the desired result,

- (NSString *)substringWithRange:(NSRange)range; 

OR you can do that, first find bracket location,

int pointPos = -1;
for(int i=0; i<= [myString length]-1; i++){
    if ([myString characterAtIndex:i] == '(') {
        pointPos = i;
        break;
    }
}

NSString *finalString = [myString substringToIndex:pointPos];
