Thanks in advance for any replies.
Looks like I finally found what I was looking for. Mostly it is a
matter of doing some assuming on common PATH locations to search for
and then set things up programatically. Looks like I will likely also
need to programatically look for paths stored
in .profile, .bash_login, etc... as part of life dealing with NSTask
tools that may not be default OS X installed tools.
I think my big stumbling block was switching my thinking from Ruby to
Objective-C object messaging and method syntax. They're not terribly
far apart conceptually, but the code does read a bit differently.
The other stumbling block was simply getting used to Cocoa & Obj-C
conventions and terminology for collections. Simply getting used to
things like NSDictionary and the Cocoa/Obj-C way of KVC. In Ruby it's
usually easy arrays and hashes.
One thing I'm still kind of struggling to internalize is
NSEnumerator. In Ruby, many classes inherit/mix in enumerating
methods that are very common to its collection types of classes and
become very core to the way things are very convenient there.
Can anyone suggest a good tutorial/reference/example code on
iterating with NSEnumerator and such in Cocoa? ( I hope I'm not
asking in the wrong list here ).
