Xcode 7 How to get Text Field inputs?

Question

So I have been working with some swift code in xcode 7, and I am trying to make a basic login and registration page. I am trying to get the text inputs from the text fields, (Username, Password, etc), but I get an error (Value of type 'NSTextField' has no member 'text'. I have a note to mark where the error is in the code:

//  RegisterViewController.swift
//  SafeUtils

import Cocoa

class RegisterViewController: ViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var UserNameTextF: NSTextField!
    @IBOutlet weak var UserPasswordTextF: NSSecureTextField!
    @IBOutlet weak var UserVerifyPassTextF: NSSecureTextField!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Do view setup here.
    }

    // When Register Button Tapped
    @IBAction func RegisterBTNTPD(sender: AnyObject) {
        //These are the parts of code that have the error. Error: Value of type 'NSTextField' has no member 'text'
        let Username = UserNameTextF.text
        let Password = UserPasswordTextF.text
        let veriPass = UserVerifyPassTextF.text


        // Are there empty fields?


        // Store User Data

        // Confirm Registration Message

    }


}

All help is appreciated.

Answer 1

As already mentioned in the comments, you can't use text to get the value of the NSTextField . Just check the NSControl documentation, which the NSTextField inherits from. Because of that you can use stringValue :

let Username = UserNameTextF.stringValue
let Password = UserPasswordTextF.stringValue
let veriPass = UserVerifyPassTextF.stringValue

Also you don't have to use ; at the end of each line in swift.

here is this code that i have tried in play ground,, let me know how it goes

 var appUsers: [[String:String]] = [
[
    "userName": "Charly",
    "userPass": "123"
],
[
    "userName": "Betty",
    "userPass": "345"
],
[
    "userName": "Lenny",
    "userPass": "567"
],
[
    "userName": "Karl",
    "userPass": "789"
],
[
    "userName": "Homer",
    "userPass": "012"
]
]

    var loginName = "Betty"
    var loginPass = "345"

    var logginResult = ""

    for loggingUser in appUsers {

   if loginName == loggingUser["userName"] {

    if loginPass == loggingUser["userPass"] {

        let result = "ok"

        logginResult = result

    }
  }
}

  print("You are logged")

   // Do your logging stuff here

} else {
