Thumbs up manipulate textmessages

Hi there coders,

Could anyone of you give me a kick start on how i can manipulate text in textmessages, like finding a phone number in the text, and\ or replacing a word with another word?

Im not asking you to code anything, just point me in some direction on what to read up on, and if you know about any tutorials that would help, that would'nt be too bad either..

Thanks,
Scullcandy

Reads the docs for NSString and NSMutableString. There are plenty of methods for finding and replacing text.

If you are trying to change a text from the users SMS mailbox, it isn't possible within the SDK.

In general, if you want to know about a feature of the API/language, the best place to look will always be the API reference. This is both faster and more comprehensive than forum responses.

You might want to ask in a forum that isnt dedicated to the SDK. Not trying to be rude here, but it would be nice to keep all topics in the SDK forum related to the SDK itself so that it doesnt confuse people into thinking it will work on a non hacked device.

What i want to do is to create a smiley library, so its replaces the : - ) with a , just an example, and to make it find phone numbers of my region so it tries to link a phone number that is 8 digits and not 12 digits like its doing now.
