Searching for "whole word" in NSString

Subject: Searching for "whole word" in NSString
From: John Stiles <email@hidden>

I'm trying to find a substring in an NSString. But I want to find whole words (e.g. like in the Find panel when you choose "Full word" from the popup, rather than "Contains" or "Starts With").

Unless I'm missing something, it looks like NSString's -rangeOfString:options:range:locale: doesn't have an option for finding whole words.

How does the Find panel do it, then? Am I going to have to "roll my own" code for string searching? That sounds error-prone to me; I'd much rather have the OS do it. _______________________________________________
