Here is my contents in UITextView...
==>"A ‘Metropolitan’ dining experience offering exquisite food prepared with attention to visual detail & taste."
Now my question is simple and short,how to find the location(x,y) of a word "experience" within the textview.
Any solution will be greatly appreciated.
Try this:
- (CGPoint)getPoint:(UITextView *)textView { NSRange range = [textView.text rangeOfString:@"experience"]; UITextPosition *beginning = textView.beginningOfDocument; UITextPosition *start = [textView positionFromPosition:beginning offset:range.location]; UITextPosition *end = [textView positionFromPosition:start offset:range.length]; UITextRange *textRange = [textView textRangeFromPosition:start toPosition:end]; CGRect rect = [textView firstRectForRange:textRange]; return rect.origin; } Try this if you want in Swift
let range: NSRange = (txtView.text as NSString).range(of: text) let beginning: UITextPosition? = txtView.beginningOfDocument let start: UITextPosition? = txtView.position(from: beginning!, offset: range.location) let end: UITextPosition? = txtView.position(from: start!, offset: range.length) let textRange: UITextRange? = txtView.textRange(from: start!, to: end!) let rect: CGRect = txtView.firstRect(for: textRange!) use sizeWithFont, it suppose to be something like this:
NSString *text = textView.text; NSString *substring = [text substringToIndex:[text rangeOfString:@"experience"].location]; CGSize size = [substring sizeWithFont:textView.font]; CGPoint p = CGPointMake((int)size.width % (int)textView.frame.size.width, ((int)size.width / (int)textView.frame.size.width) * size.height);
