trouble getting c-chars from NSString

Actually, your suggestion is precisely what I ended up using. However, I did have to use a C-String to paste the characters together because I did not find a method that does "stringFromChars." Here was my approach.

NSString *original = [NSString stringWithString:@"[asdf123asdf]"];
NSCharacterSet *nums = [NSCharacterSet

characterSetWithCharactersInString:@" 0123456789[]"];
NSString *numFree;


int i; unichar c; int numNewChars = 0;
char noNums[100];
for (i = 0; i < [original length]; i++)
{
c = [original characterAtIndex: i];
if (!([nums characterIsMember: c]))
{
noNums[numNewChars++] = c; // IS THERE A FOUNDATION METHOD THAT WORKS HERE?
}
}
numFree = [NSString stringWithCString: noNums];
numFree = [numFree substringToIndex: numNewChars];
printf("%s", [numFree cString]);

Sorry, I am a newbie and I only did a tiny bit of C, so this
question is pretty basic. I am trying to convert an NSString to a
C-String so that I can remove certain characters. Somehow I don't
seem to be able to get the cString returned from the [NSString
cString] method to be assigned to a character array.

You're aware that you don't need to use a C string, right? You can
just use an NSMutableString and characterAtIndex: to do the work.
That will also take care of international characters that might not
fit in a C string, which you'd otherwise lose.
