setting a NSString

[thehindutimes]

I'm getting an error message saying "expected : " on the second line just after integerValue.
I can't figure out why so is there anyone who knows why I get this error?



for(int i=0; i< [order2 count]; i++){


NSString *temp = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:[order2 objectAtIndex:i]integerValue];

mailString = (@"%@", temp);


[orderComposer setMessageBody:[NSString stringWithFormat:mailString] isHTML:NO];

}


Thank you!

There are quite a few basic syntax errors in your code as it is.
It would be good if you looked at some books/examples/tutorials.

Here it is as it should be (to my best guess as to what you're trying to do):

for(int i=0; i< [order2 count]; i++){

NSString *temp = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%d",[order2 objectAtIndex:i] integerValue]];

// I believe this line is not needed
// mailString = (@"%@", temp);  

[orderComposer setMessageBody:temp isHTML:NO];

//Because we allocated the string
[temp release];

I prefer stringWithFormat to initWithFormat, since stringWithFormat returns an autorleased object, so you don't have to remember to release it when you're done with it.
