I know this sounds very basic, but I can't seem to get it right.

I have the following:

sig = [bEnd mySig];

And this doesn't always return a valid object... If I try to use the name method on sig, [sig name], it will generate an exception if sig is not a valid object, -[NSNull name]: selector not recognized.

Okay, I thought I would just put the code that acts on sig inside an if statement...

if (sig) { blah }

But it still gets executed and causes the same exception.

I thought these might work:

if (sig == NULL)
if (sig == nil)

But neither worked.

Then, thinking that NSNull is a global object I tried this comparison...

if (sig == [NSNull null])

which also failed.

Finally, I reached success with:

if ([sig isEqualTo:NULL])

Actually, I need more sleep... That didn't work either, however, this did....

([sig isEqualTo:[NSNull null]])

What a brain block, and for something so simple.

Also, apologies for my "dummy" DO NOT EDIT signature passing through, that's what you get for using your own alpha software. :-)
