NSString get substring separed by 2 defined strings

Question

I have some NSString object, for example:

NSString *inputString1 = @"Name is \"Mark\"";
NSString *inputString2 = @"Name is \"Joe\"";

I need to extract Mark and Joe values substrings from input.

Are there any solutions?

Thank you, in advance.

If the prefix is always `"Name is \""`, you can use `[inputString1 substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(9, inputString1.length-10)]` — Sergey Kalinichenko, May 23 '13 at 09:55
