Well, the error you're getting is that initWithString is an instance method and you're calling it like a class method. You were probably thinking of +stringWithCString:(char *), which would have worked... BUT... there's a much easier way...

You can use all the normal C escape characters in an NSString... You want to create an NSString that has just a tab? Try this:

NSString *tabString = @"\t";

I want to make an NSString which contains a tab character. Since I can't put that into the @"" literal construct, I figured I'd try putting it into a CString and then making the NSString from that. Here was my unsuccessful attempt:

char cTabString[2];
id tabString;
cTabString[0] = 9;
cTabString[1] = 0;
tabString = [NSString initWithCString:cTabString]

So what am I doing wrong? I get some unhelpful compiler warnings such as:

MyScrollView.m:10: warning: cannot find class (factory) method.
MyScrollView.m:10: warning: return type for `initWithCString:' defaults to id
