Hello...

That still won't remove all of the tab stops since the loop won't be run enough times (because even though it removes the first object in the array instead, i is still being incremented and count is being decremented each time through the loop).

You can use an NSEnumerator to feed a while loop:

NSEnumerator *tabEnumerator = [[style tabStops] objectEnumerator];
id currentTab = nil;
while ((currentTab = [tabEnumerator nextObject]))
{
[style removeTabStop:currentTab];
}


You can get the count outside of the for loop and use the stored value for the check:

unsigned i, tabCount = [[style tabStops] count];
for (i=0; i < tabCount; i++)
{
[style removeTabStop:[[style tabStops] objectAtIndex:0]];
}


You can use the count as the test for a while loop:

while ([[style tabStops] count] != 0)
{
[style removeTabStop:[[style tabStops] objectAtIndex:0]];
}


Hope that helps,

Louis

The log statement confirms the intent to remove 12 tab stops. However, debugging output immediately following this code shows that my two tab stops are followed by 6 other tab stops, starting at 56.0 points and every 56.0 points thereafter. Why? I even added this line of code:


Try:
for (i = 0; i < [[style tabStops] count]; ++i)
{
[style removeTabStop: [[style tabStops] objectAtIndex: 0]];
}

since your code otherwise only removes the first half the tabStops (since it'll stop when i = count, which gets decremented each time through your loop).
