Yes, that is correct.

There is some default value for characters to be skipped ([NSCharacterSet whitespaceCharacterSet] I think), but your line of code is common and will work as you intend.

The documentation doesn't explicitly state whether calling:

[someScanner setCharactersToBeSkipped:nil]

is a legal way of having no characters that are skipped.

As far as I can tell it behaves the same as using an empty characterSet, but also seems to make some scanning operations faster.

Can someone please confirm that if I use nil, that I won't get bitten in some future system release.

Thanks
