Memory allocation problem

[Sergio10]

Hi,

According to string I'd like to create new string but it crashes:

- (NSString*)test
{
switch (self.type)
{
case SHIPMENT_LIST_XML:
{
NSString *xml = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:[parser nodeValue:PARAM_1]];

if(xml == nil)
{
return nil;
}
else
{
[parser deleteNode:PARAM_1];

return xml;
}
} break;
}
return nil;
}

Do I create xml value correctly?

Thank you,
Serhiy Otroshchenko

Crashes how? Are there run-time errors? Specifics would be a big help.

i believe switch statements can only receive integers as arguments. try using if.

No, they can be simple constants or constant expressions. The problem is the OP's code snippet is too vague to draw any conclusions about things like this and therefore very hard to diagnose why it doesn't work. That's why I asked for more specifics.

good to know :)
