like a class variable?
in obj-c you could use a static global variable in the source file for your class. like:
static NSString *_myName = nil;
static UInt32 _myCount = 0x00;
//before you ever create an instance
+(void)setObjectName: (NString *)name
{
if(! _myName)
_myName = [name retain];
}
//whenever you need a new name
+ (NSString *)newInstanceName
{
return([NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@%u", _myName, _myCount++]);
}
