I am trying to restrict the number of characters entered in UITextfied,I want the user to enter the numbers in range 40.[0 to 9] to 250.[0 to 9] and the user can only one digit after the decimal point and also he cant enter multiple decimal points. I hope I have made my point clear, so far I have tried some code which is below
- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string
{
NSCharacterSet *nonNumberSet = [[NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:@"0123456789."] invertedSet];
// allow backspace
if (range.length > 0 && [string length] == 0) {
return YES;
}
// do not allow . at the beggining
if (range.location == 0 && [string isEqualToString:@"."]) {
return NO;
}
// set the text field value manually
NSString *newValue = [[textField text] stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:range withString:string];
newValue = [[newValue componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet:nonNumberSet] componentsJoinedByString:@""];
textField.text = newValue;
// return NO because we're manually setting the value
return NO;
}
So friends please help me further.
