I am aware of the setCharacterToBeSkipped, but if I set it nil, then
the scanning takes very long time to complete.

Hi there,
It seems like when there is no data between fields, eg.
"field1;field2;field3;;;;;field8" NSScanner only recognise field1,
field2, field3 and field8 and skip the empty fields. Is this a bug? or
more important is there a workaround?
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:.
