空字符串有两种方式:

1) @"" //不包含空格

2) @" " //包含空格

严格来说，这两个字符串都是空的。我们可以用条件一来写出这两个式子

if ([firstNameTF.text stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@""].length==0)
{
    NSLog(@"Empty String");
}
else
{
    NSLog(@"String contains some value");
}

这对我来说是一种魅力

如果NSString是s

if ([s isKindOfClass:[NSNull class]] || s == nil || [s isEqualToString:@""]) {

    NSLog(@"s is empty");

} else {

    NSLog(@"s containing %@", s);

}

//Different validations:
 NSString * inputStr = @"Hey ";

//Check length
[inputStr length]

//Coming from server, check if its NSNull
[inputStr isEqual:[NSNull null]] ? nil : inputStr

//For validation in allowed character set
-(BOOL)validateString:(NSString*)inputStr
{
    BOOL isValid = NO;
    if(!([inputStr length]>0))
    {
        return isValid;

    }

    NSMutableCharacterSet *allowedSet = [NSMutableCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:@".-"];
    [allowedSet formUnionWithCharacterSet:[NSCharacterSet decimalDigitCharacterSet]];
    if ([inputStr rangeOfCharacterFromSet:[allowedSet invertedSet]].location == NSNotFound)
    {
        // contains only decimal set and '-' and '.'

    }
    else
    {
        // invalid
        isValid = NO;

    }
    return isValid;
}

另一个选项是用isEqualToString检查它是否等于@"":如下所示:

if ([myString isEqualToString:@""]) {
    NSLog(@"myString IS empty!");
} else {
    NSLog(@"myString IS NOT empty, it is: %@", myString);
}

你可以很容易地检查字符串是否为空:

if ([yourstring isEqualToString:@""]) {
    // execute your action here if string is empty
}

我检查了一个空字符串使用以下代码:

//Check if we have any search terms in the search dictionary.
if( (strMyString.text==(id) [NSNull null] || [strMyString.text length]==0 
       || strMyString.text isEqual:@"")) {

   [AlertView showAlert:@"Please enter a valid string"];  
}
