Grab SELECTED text on UITextView

Question

Hello Everyone,

How do I grab SELECTED/HIGHLIGHTED text on a UITextView. I already know how to do this on UIWebView using javascript. Now I am trying to figure it out for the UITextView.

Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

you can do it by

NSRange range = [txtView selectedRange];
NSString *str = [txtView.text substringWithRange:range];
