Depending on what you're doing you could try using Ruby Cocoa.

Hi all,

This might be a really silly question - but am I missing something obvious?
Is there any support at all for regular expressions in the Cocoa libraries?

I can't find anything and I've found some third-party frameworks - but
surely something so necessary must be buried in the string classes
somewhere? How would I do a simple substring search or replace in 10.4?

Thanks,
Cemil

Hello -

There is no regular expression support in Cocoa. You might find http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?RegularExpressions useful in helping to find a library to do it for you.

	Search and replace in Cocoa looks like this:

NSString *someString = @"The quick brown fox";
NSString *newString = [someString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"quick" withString:@"slow"];

You can find this in the NSString documentation. It creates a new string with the substring replaced.
