Does this mean that now I should also learn lex/ yacc?
No. I'm referring to that example myself whenever I need to launch a
foundation tool from within my app. I suspect you can do whatever you
want in Cocoa without ever learning lex or yacc.
Well I guess we bumped into two possible interpretations of "should" ;)
Yes, you should learn lex/yacc, for they are the best what there is for
parsing, and you'll probably need that. No, you don't need to learn them
to be able to program in Cocoa: those APIs are completely independent.
You can write great Cocoa application without even knowing there's yacc
and lex -- only, in case they would contain more complicated parsing, you'
ll need more time and effort.
