How do I concatenate strings in Objective-C?

Hello,

I am retrieving 10 separate strings from an XML parser. I want to append all the strings together. I checked for string concatenation in Obj-C and tried the below code, but it doesn't work as expected. Every time it overwrites with the new string. 

 NSString *newstring; // Global variable

[newstring stringByAppendingString:newStrGotFromXML];

Could someone guide me to resolve this?

Thank you!

  • are you calling `NSString *newstring;` every time you want to append the string (I hope you're not cause I believe that may be the problem)? – Rasman Apr 23 '11 at 23:04

the stringByAppendingString returns a new string by putting the two together, it doesn't modify either of the original strings. You probably want to use an NSMutableString. With that you can use the appendString method.
