Checking for text in a textfeild

[phillipie99]

I need a way to check and see if a textfeild infact contains text i am using this line of code to see if it dosent

if (goalie1Name.text==nil) {
//do stuff
}

and it is working fine but I also need to see if it contains text so I can allow the keyboard to disappear. I am calling these from the textfield should return ** update not working fine the if method only seems to get called once the next tome the text feild is opened it is never called

Can't you just put this statement after and if it doesn't return nil, it will just call else?

if (myTextField == nil) {
//DO STUFF
}

else {

//TextField has stuff in it, so put the other code here.

}

create in the .m:

- (void)textCheck{
//your code
}

in the .h:

- (void)textCheck;

Then inside IB, select the textfield, drag a line from:
- Editing Changed
- Editing Did Begin
- Editing Did End

To File's Owner and select textCheck, now the function gets called every time.

You can always use this to check if something is typed in the textfield

if (myTextField.text.length > 0)
  // data in text field
else
  // no data in text field
