I have the following code snippet

theResults = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d : %@\n", n, currentLine];

theResults is defined as an NSstring and finalText is defined as an
NSMutableString

When the code runs I get an error

2002-03-24 15:38:09.815 dView[682] *** -[AppController appendString:]:
selector not recognized

Any idea why its raising this error when appendString is most assuredly a
method of NSMutableString?

The error message is telling you that you are trying to send an -appendString: message to an AppController. So my first guess would be that finalText has somehow been made to point to an AppController, despite what you declared it as.

Use the debugger to break just before the -appendString: statement, and examine the finalText variable. If it is in fact an AppController rather than an NSMutableString, work your way back in your code to figure out how that happened.
