Sounds like you probably want some regexp capabilities.
I think (have not searched google) that omni has some frameworks that
do this. If not, I think MOKit does.

I am making an app which allows an array to be searched by a string
which contains wildcards (the *, and ?, etc). I am currently using
the isLike: method of NSString, but I ran into a problem. I want the
search string to be able to contain [ and ] characters that are not
part of the pattern. So, @"*[ABC]*" would match @"123[ABC]456", not
@"123[A]456", @"123[B]456", or @"123[C]456". Any ideas? Is there
another method which allows comparisons just by wildcards?
You can try escaping the brackets, i.e. maybe this might work:
@"123\[ABC\]456". Haven't tried it though, just the obvious guess.
Thanks in advance,
