I seem to recall a string data type.

CFString? Just like an NSString, but implemented as a pure C struct, with function calls instead of methods. I don't think it's going to get you much further though...

Are there any routines for working with these? (extracting
substrings, search and replace, etc.?) If not, how
would I go about writing my own?

Umm, there are such methods in NSString:

Strings/index.html

There's also NSScanner...

On the subject of which, though, I'm sure I saw a note somewhere somewhen that NSScanner is deprecated? Is this true?!


If you don't mind an external framework, as recently as February 20 James Montgomerie pointed out:

Mike Ferris' MOKit has a more Cocoa-friendly, Unicode-save implementation of regular expressions, so you might want to take a look at it (http://www.lorax.com/FreeStuff/MOKit.html)


And finally, could anyone point me towards a really
good beginner's reference (online) to learning the
Objective-C language? Most of the documents I've found
consist of 20 chapters, each one assuming you've
already read the other 19. =)

The best introduction is at:
http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Cocoa/ObjectiveC/index.html

You only really need the chapters three and four get get a good grounding, but chapter two is well worth reading.
