iphone - how can I convert string to an array with separator?

Question

I have a string in the following format

myString = "cat+dog+cow"

I need to store each string separated by + in to a array. Eg:

myArray[0] = cat
myArray[1] = dog
myArray[2] = cow

Can anyone tell me the proper way to do this?

Answer 1

componentsSeparatedByString: splits the string and return the result in an array.

NSArray *myArray = [myString componentsSeparatedByString:@"+"];

[myArray objectAtIndex:0];//cat
[myArray objectAtIndex:1];//dog
[myArray objectAtIndex:2];//cow
