If you have an NSString to begin with, you might as well use componentsSeparatedByString: instead of TIDs, and similarly for NSArrays and componentsJoinedByString:. And for more complex stuff, things like stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet: and NSScanner make more sense.

Thanks Shane, I figured that there would be at least one, I would say that 'componentsSeparatedByString' is probably what I'm looking for, although I'd like to check them all out..
This is going to be a question which could be met with a "RTFM" kind of response.. But is there a good place to find these types of commands? I realise that Xcode is very well documented, so much so that I find it really daunting to look there.. Is there a smart list of these commands that I'm overlooking in the documentation?
