Try using

[text2 setStringValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%i", [[textField1 stringValue] length]]];

Using setIntValue on a text field won't set the text field's stringValue to be a string from that int.

I believe this is incorrect. Try simply

[text2 setIntValue:[[text1 stringValue] length]];

The original mistake was using [text1 length], which asks the text *field* for its length (no such method) instead of asking the text field's *string*.

Using +stringWithFormat: works too, but it's doing more than you need.
