IOS insert line break to data retrieved from parse.com

i am trying to retrieve some string data from parse.com and i've added "\n, \n & \r" into the data, but it still does not give me the line breaks, how do format the line below to get line breaks.

self.label.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", [object objectForKey:@"ParseStringDate"]];

if some has the same challenge in swift - please find attached a short string extension:

extension String {
    func formatStringFromParseWithLineBreaks() -> String {
        let sourceString: String = self
        let resultString = sourceString.stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString("\\n", withString: "\n")

        return resultString
    }
}

It is easy to use:

let stringFromParse = "Great\\nExample"
let newString = stringFromParse.formatStringFromParseWithLineBreaks()

Have fun

self.label.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"first\n%@\n another", [object objectForKey:@"ParseStringDate"]];

Make sure you have numberOfLines of the label set to 0. This should work.

if you get the text that should be presented in multiple lines then you should try to set for your label this property:

self.label.numberOfLines = 0;

it basically means that label can be multiline, make sure that frame of that label is sufficient to show more that one line of text
