    [a insertString: @"-" atIndex: 4];
    //textfield.text = [textfield.text stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"-" withString:@""];

    textfield.text = a;
    NSLog(@"in if");

}
  else if([textfield.text length]<8){


    //[a insertString: @"" atIndex: 4];
    textfield.text = [textfield.text stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"-" withString:@""];

    NSLog(@"in else");
    //NSRange range = {4,5};
    //[a deleteCharactersInRange:range];
    //textfield .text = a;

NSString *abc=@"12345678";
    NSString * a =[abc substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(0, 4)];
    NSString *b =[abc substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(0, 8)];
    abc =[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@-%@",a,b];
    NSLog(@"%@",abc);
