Try the following template:

NSString *s = [@"email@hidden email@hidden" autorelease];
OFRegularExpression *reg = [[[OFRegularExpression alloc] initWithString:@"\w+@\w+\.\w"] autorelease];
OFRegularExpressionMatch *match = [reg matchInString:s];
while (match) {
NSString *thisMatch = [[match subexpressionAtIndex:0] autorelease];
NSLog(thisMatch);
match = [match nextMatch];
}

I know that ARegEx also has a matching class, but from the available documentation, I can't work out how to implement it.

I've downloaded the OmniFoundation framework, so I'll take a look over that.

Try the free OmniFoundation framework from OmniGroup. It contains regex-matching classes.

Hello All.

I have text in an NSTextView that I want to style with different fonts and colours. Each paragraph begins with a paragraph number, for example:

1 This is the first paragraph.
2 This is the next one.
3 Here's another and there are usually more.

I want to be able to pick out the numbers and style them in a different font, size and color. I've got ARegEx in my app, and am using it successfully to alter other parts of the text. I've also go a loop going, using an NSScanner and searching for specific words so I can style those as needed.

I know I can use NSRange to select text and style it, but I can't work out how best to deal with this situation, where the source is not a single word but different numbers. Apart from the first number, all the others happen after a carriage return, so I'm looking for that plus whatever the number/s are after it.

I guess I'm looking for a routine that can take a RegEx search string (something like "\r[0-9]+") and return it's position and length as a range. Am I asking for too much?..!
