I dont know what the old fashioned way is, but the way you can use NSRange
is varied and quite helpful in many cases, such as rangeOfString

NSRange aRange = [someString rangeOfString:@"The String"];

if(aRange.length){
// Do stuff
}
or use the location

int loc = aRange.location;

I am sans books and reference at the moment, forgive misgiven syntax
