Of the 5 divide methods in NSString I don't see one the will divide each character to an array. I could bepass the regex with ifs' then stringByAppendingString.

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
    NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

    // $string = "aB,,c"
    NSString *string = [NSMutableString stringWithString:@"aB,,c"];

// $string =~ s/[^A-Za-z]//g
NSCharacterSet *theSet = [[NSCharacterSet alphanumericCharacterSet] invertedSet];
NSRange theRange = [string rangeOfCharacterFromSet:theSet];
while (theRange.location != NSNotFound) {
[(NSMutableString*)string replaceCharactersInRange:theRange
withString:@""];
theRange = [string rangeOfCharacterFromSet:theSet];
}


    // $string = uc($string)
    string = [string uppercaseString];

// @str = split(//, $string)
const char *strChars = [string UTF8String];
NSMutableArray *str = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:[string length]];
while (*strChars != 0) {
[str addObject:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%c", *strChars]];
strChars++;
}


    // $string = join(",", @str)
    string = [str componentsJoinedByString:@","];

    NSLog(@"%@", string);

    [pool release];
    return 0;
}

It seems like alot of work for something so easy in perl.

Heh, that's nothing. You should try using libregex (man 3 regex) some time. :-/
