I've seen the NSScanner examples, but am unable to determine how to use
it to count words. Your previous example of counting the parts of an
NSarray worked unless I had two spaces, like "two words" would count as
3 words with the following:
int wc = [[[myAttributedString string] componentsSeparatedByString: @" "] count];
I suppose I could sort the array, then count a sub-array that has no
empty elements in it, but talk about non-elegant!
So, for anyone who's run into counting / parsing, what's the quickest
way to accurately count words with NSScanner (or anything else in Cocoa)?
Thanks,
Matt

To avoid having to create a lot of temporary string objects (as with my
previous suggestion), you might also consider using an NSScanner to run
a pass over the string and count spaces (or other whitespace characters
- use the whitespace character set). It might be more efficient - test
it to find out.

Anyone know an effiecient way to do a word count on an NSString or
(better yet) an NSAttributedString? I'm having trouble getting the
spell checker to count the words (always returns 0) and I see I can
get an array of the words using NSTextStorage, but that horribly
memory-sucking in my opinion. That, and I cannot instantiate a
NSTextStorage object (I could get it from an NSTextView, but I'd
rather not have to add a text view to just get a word count).
