objective c - Why do I get this error when I try to pass a parameter in NSURL in iOS app?

Question

This is what I have in a public method - (IBAction)methodName

NSString *quoteNumber = [[self textBox] text];

NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:@"http://TestSite.com/virdirectory/Webservice1/Service1.asmx/GetQuote?number=%d", quoteNumber];

The error I get is:

Too many arguments to method call, expected 1, have 2

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I think you are thinking of NSString's stringWithFormat::

[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://TestSite.com/virdirectory/Webservice1/Service1.asmx/GetQuote?number=%@", quoteNumber]]

Also note the change to %@ for the format specifier, since it is an instance of NSString (not an int)
