NSString compare 方法比较

方法名

- (NSComparisonResult)compare:(NSString *)string;

方法作用：

主要理解如下属性：

typedef NS_OPTIONS(NSUInteger, NSStringCompareOptions) {

    NSCaseInsensitiveSearch = 1,    /*忽略大小写*/
    NSLiteralSearch = 2,		/* 不忽略大小写 */
    NSBackwardsSearch = 4,		/* 从后往前比较 */
    NSAnchoredSearch = 8,		/* Search is limited to start (or end, if NSBackwardsSearch) of source string */
    NSNumericSearch = 64,		/*常见 版本号比较 Added in 10.2; Numbers within strings are compared using numeric value, that is, Foo2.txt < Foo7.txt < Foo25.txt; only applies to compare methods, not find */
    NSDiacriticInsensitiveSearch API_AVAILABLE(macos(10.5), ios(2.0), watchos(2.0), tvos(9.0)) = 128, /* If specified, ignores diacritics (o-umlaut == o) */
    NSWidthInsensitiveSearch API_AVAILABLE(macos(10.5), ios(2.0), watchos(2.0), tvos(9.0)) = 256, /* If specified, ignores width differences ('a' == UFF41) */
    NSForcedOrderingSearch API_AVAILABLE(macos(10.5), ios(2.0), watchos(2.0), tvos(9.0)) = 512, /* If specified, comparisons are forced to return either NSOrderedAscending or NSOrderedDescending if the strings are equivalent but not strictly equal, for stability when sorting (e.g. "aaa" > "AAA" with NSCaseInsensitiveSearch specified) */
    NSRegularExpressionSearch API_AVAILABLE(macos(10.7), ios(3.2), watchos(2.0), tvos(9.0)) = 1024    /* 正则 Applies to rangeOfString:..., stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:..., and replaceOccurrencesOfString:... methods only; the search string is treated as an ICU-compatible regular expression; if set, no other options can apply except NSCaseInsensitiveSearch and NSAnchoredSearch */
};

apple Demo:

Comparing Strings

The following examples illustrate the use of various string comparison methods and associated options. The first shows the simplest comparison method.

NSString *string1 = @"string1";

NSString *string2 = @"string2";

NSComparisonResult result;

result = [string1 compare:string2];

// result = -1 (NSOrderedAscending)

You can compare strings numerically using the NSNumericSearch option:

NSString *string10 = @"string10";

NSString *string2 = @"string2";

NSComparisonResult result;

result = [string10 compare:string2];

// result = -1 (NSOrderedAscending)

result = [string10 compare:string2 options:NSNumericSearch];

// result = 1 (NSOrderedDescending)

You can use convenience methods (caseInsensitiveCompare: and localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare:) to perform case-insensitive comparisons:

NSString *string_a = @"Aardvark";

NSString *string_A = @"AARDVARK";

result = [string_a compare:string_A];

// result = 1 (NSOrderedDescending)

result = [string_a caseInsensitiveCompare:string_A];

// result = 0 (NSOrderedSame)

// equivalent to [string_a compare:string_A options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch]
