Summary:
When using an NSDataDetector with the NSTextCheckingTypePhoneNumber type included, it will (seemingly incorrectly) detect the text "phone number" before a valid phone number.
Steps to Reproduce:
NSError *error = nil;
NSDataDetector *dataDetector = [NSDataDetector dataDetectorWithTypes:NSTextCheckingTypePhoneNumber
error:&error];
NSArray *stringsToTest = @[
@"testing phone number 0123 4567891",
@"testing some other number 0123 4567892",
@"phone number 0123 4567893",
@"blah blah 0123 4567894",
@"testing telephone number 0123 4567895"
];
for (NSString *string in stringsToTest)
{
[dataDetector enumerateMatchesInString:string
options:0
range:NSMakeRange(0, string.length)
usingBlock:^(NSTextCheckingResult *result, NSMatchingFlags flags, BOOL *stop) {
NSLog(@"%@", result.phoneNumber);
}];
}
Expected Results:
I'd expect the following numbers to be detected and be the sole content of result.phoneNumber:
0123 4567891
0123 4567892
0123 4567893
0123 4567894
0123 4567895
Actual Results:
Instead the NSLog call prints out the following, not in log 1 and 3 the text "phone number" before the actual number:
2013-11-24 19:04:26.000 PhoneNumberDetector[21874:70b] phone number 0123 4567891
2013-11-24 19:04:26.000 PhoneNumberDetector[21874:70b] 0123 4567892
2013-11-24 19:04:26.000 PhoneNumberDetector[21874:70b] phone number 0123 4567893
2013-11-24 19:04:26.000 PhoneNumberDetector[21874:70b] 0123 4567894
2013-11-24 19:04:26.001 PhoneNumberDetector[21874:70b] 0123 4567895
