Good day, Hunter. Your code looks fine, but you should note that the method -[NSString cString] will, according too Apple's NSString class docs, be 'deprecated in the near future.' They instead recommend that one use 'UTF8String to convert arbitrary NSStrings to a lossless 8-bit representation.'

Except that if your input isn't UTF-8, -[NSString UTF8String] may give you screwed-up results. -[NSString cString] has its place.


On the other hand, you might not have to deal with C strings at all. If you read the data file into an NSString, you can use -[NSString rangeOfString:], as follows, as well as using an enumeration instead of checking for chars:
