Replace <br> in an NSString with a new line

I have an NSString like this

NSString *string = @"textTextTextTextText<br>textTextTextText<br>TextTextText"

I want to set this NSString to be the text of my UICell with a new line on each
tag found on the string. How could I do that?

I've tried this, without success:

cell.textLabel.text = [[text componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet newlineCharacterSet]] componentsJoinedByString:@"<br>"];

SWIFT 5: If you are using Swift string (you can transform your NSString to String):

var string = "line1<br>line2<br>line3"
string = string..replacingOccurrences(of: "<br>", with: "\n"))

How about:

string = [string stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString: @"<br>" withString: @"\n"]

or, if you're using Swift Strings

var string = "textTextTextTextText<br>textTextTextText<br>TextTextText"
string = Array(string).reduce("") {$0 + ($1 == "<br>" ? "\n" : $1)}
