This may help you.

NSString *url = @"www.stackoverflow.com/questions";
NSArray *items = [url componentsSeparatedByString:@"/"];

NSString *str1=[items objectATindex:0];   //www.stackoverflow.com
NSString *str2=[items objectATindex:1];   //questions

Use the pathComponents property on an NSURL object.

This property contains an array containing the individual path components of the URL, each unescaped using the stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding: method. For example, in the URL file:///directory/directory%202/file, the path components array would be @[@"/", @"directory", @"directory 2", @"file"].

NSURL *myUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:@"www.stackoverflow.com/questions"];
NSString *lastPathComponent = [myUrl lastPathComponent]; // "questions"
NSArray *pathComponents = [myUrl pathComponents]; // <__NSArrayM 0x7fc45b649df0>( www.stackoverflow.com, questions )

To remove the http://, use host property:

NSURL *myUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.stackoverflow.com/questions"];
NSString *host = myUrl.host; // stackoverflow.com

@Saravanakumar edited my answer to show how to remove the prefix. – JAL Dec 29 '15 at 17:04
Thanks, I will try it. – B.Saravana Kumar Dec 29 '15 at 17:17
This answer is not the proper way to do this task. NSURL has all the needed methods to get the various parts of the URL. There is no need to do an string splitting. – rmaddy Dec 29 '15 at 20:46
@rmaddy You're absolutely right. Edited my answer to use the `host` property of an `NSURL`. – JAL Dec 29 '15 at 21:00
