One of NSScanner's easily overlooked "features" is that, by default, it
skips characters in the whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet, which includes
tabs (which you represent with semicolons above). You need to do:
[theScanner setCharactersToBeSkipped:nil];
And read the documentation for setCharactersToBeSkipped:.
