Parsing STDout into an NSDictionary


  • Subject: Parsing STDout into an NSDictionary

I am writing a preferencePane GUI for pmset, to allow configuration of the "hidden" options of pmset (hard disk sleep timer, wake on lid open etc.). I have used NSTask to pipe STDout from pmset into an NSString, and I can make it display on the prefPane with no problems.

Is there any easy way to use an existing class to parse a whitespace and newline delimited string into an NSDictionary? I'm really just being lazy, as I'm quite experienced with C and I can easily write a parsing loop to deal with it, but I just thought I'd check if there's an easier way to do it in Cocoa.

Here's the format of the data:

Battery Power:
sms            1
hibernatefile  /var/vm/sleepimage
acwake         0
sleep          15
halfdim        1
hibernatemode  3
disksleep      10
displaysleep   1
lidwake        1
lessbright     1
AC Power:
womp           1
sms            1
hibernatefile  /var/vm/sleepimage
acwake         0
sleep          0
autorestart    0
halfdim        0
hibernatemode  3
disksleep      10
displaysleep   60
lidwake        1

Thanks,
Nick
