Discussion[ NSString localizedStringWithFormat example ]
This method is equivalent to using
initWithFormat:locale: and passing [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] dictionaryRepresentation] as the locale argument.
As an example of formatting, this method replaces the decimal according to the locale in
%f and %d substitutions, and calls descriptionWithLocale: instead of description where necessary.
This code excerpt creates a string from another string and a float:
NSString *myString = [NSString localizedStringWithFormat:@"%@: %f\n", @"Cost", 1234.56];
|
The resulting string has the value “
Cost: 1234.560000\n” if the locale is en_US, and “Cost: 1234,560000\n” if the locale is fr_FR.
