It's not overkill. It's exactly the right tool for the job.
Regardless of whether you create an NSScanner or make this a
catagory of NSString, you're still going to need to search the
strings for the hyphens and capital letters.
Are you sure you understand how NSScanner works? It is the thing that
*does* the searching.
I'd look at NSCharacterSet and the string search methods that use it.
Using NSString's search methods would probably be less efficient
since you'd have to do what NSScanner does "by hand"; i.e. managing
the scan position and partial strings.
I know that NSScanner's interface may seem a little daunting at
first. But im my experience it's worth learning it.
