Convert NSCFString to NSString
You don't need to convert _NSCFString
to NSString
. As a subclass of NSString
it's guaranteed to respond to -isEqualToString:
(and every other method in NSString
). Your issue is not coming from the string, likely it is coming from myDictionary
. Try logging all the keys in the dictionary and make sure it is behaving as expected.

I am getting a dictionary from server
myDictionary = { "rank":"1", "color":"red", "position":"middle" }
Now I want to check the value of key "position" in if condition
I am doing it like this
if ([[myDictionary valueForKey:@"position"] isEqualToString:@"middle"]) { //do Some stuff } else{ //do some other stuff }
but data type of
[myDictionary valueForKey:@"position"]
is_NSCFString
, so it does not compare value properly and never goes in if loop even the value is correct.how do I convert it into
NSString
so that I could compare it in if condition ?I have seen these questions..
NSString instance reports its class as NSCFString
Getting an NSString from an NSCFString
NSString or NSCFString in xcode?
from these question I just came to know that
NSString
is really a container class for different types of string objects. Generally an NSString constructor does return an object that is actually of typeNSCFString
, which is a thin wrapper around the Core FoundationCFString
struct
.but they didn't help me..and no one actually telling how to convert in into NSString, so please don't mark it as duplicate.

Ephemera about 9 years@VladislavKan Have a look here for a related question.
NSString
is the parent class from which all subclasses are derived.
