Append "..." at the end of fourth line

Question

I am displaying text using UILabel. I want to display only 4 lines of text, if there is more text i have to append "..." at the end of fourth line. Any help on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

lbl.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeTailTruncation;
lbl.numberOfLines = 4;

For iOS >= 6,

lbl.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail;
lbl.numberOfLines = 4;

Answer 2

label.numberOfLines = 4;
label.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail;

or in case you support iOS <= 5.

label.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeTailTruncation;
