I've been trying to find the best way to parse a large string into a
dictionary with key=>value pairs taken from colon-delimited items in
the string. I've been messing with NSString's methods and looking at
NSScanner, however it seems like quite a lot of work that way. The
input is an x509 certificate, so there are about 12 key:value
pairings that have various amounts of whitespace in-between.
Should I continue coaxing the string with NSString/NSScanner, or is
there a better way? The bare minimum I need to extract is shown in
bold, however I'd like to read in some other properties.
