NSString *dataHML6;
NSString *dataHMLtotal = *dataHML + *dataHML2 + *dataHML3 + *dataHML4 + *dataHML5 + *dataHML6;

Answer 1

NSString *dataHtmlTotal = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@%@%@%@%@", dataHtml, dataHtml2, dataHtml3, dataHtml4,dataHtml5,dataHtml6];

Answer 2

Objective-C does not support operator overloading so + doesn't do what you want here. You can use: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@%@%@%@%@", dataHtml, dataHtml2, dataHtml3, dataHtml4, dataHtml5, dataHtml6];

instead.
