Hi all,
This might be a really silly question - but am I missing something
obvious?
Is there any support at all for regular expressions in the Cocoa
libraries?
I can't find anything and I've found some third-party frameworks - but
surely something so necessary must be buried in the string classes
somewhere? How would I do a simple substring search or replace in
10.4?
Thanks,
Cemil
Hello -
There is no regular expression support in Cocoa. You might find http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?RegularExpressions
useful in helping to find a library to do it for you.
Search and replace in Cocoa looks like this:
NSString *someString = @"The quick brown fox";
NSString *newString = [someString
stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"quick" withString:@"slow"];
You can find this in the NSString documentation. It creates a new
string with the substring replaced.
