How to truncate the string into required length in iphone sdk?

Question

Hi guys,

I am having a string which contains more the 25 characters;

NSString *str = @"This is the string to be truncated to 15 characters only";

In the above string I need only the 15 characters to be stored in another variable after truncation.

can anyone suggest me how to do this? Anyone's help will be much appreciated.

Thank you, Monish

Answer 1

str = [str substringToIndex:15];

It throws an exception if the string contains less than 15 characters, of course.
