Get string from UILabel

Question

how do I set a NSString using a value from a UILabel? so far i have this but it crashes:

NSString *theScore =[[NSString alloc]initWithFormat:@"%@",scoreX.text];

scoreX is a UILabel.

can anyone help? thanks in advance

Answer 1

Have you checked that neither scoreX nor scoreX.text is null? Otherwise this looks fine...

Answer 2

Your given code is correct. you don't try some other way.

let you try this,

NSString *theScore =[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[scoreX text]];

Answer 3

Assuming you're using Interface Builder, it sounds like you may have bound the 'scoreX' outlet to a wrong element that doesn't have the text property.

If not, posting the text of the crash would help.
