I'm new to OS X development and Objective C. I have a NSString (or
NSMutableString if that is wiser) and I would like to add text on to the end
of it.


In PHP it would be something like:
$myString=$myString." more stuff";

I have looked around for docs on this but they are confusing (based on my
newbie status and background).


If there a simple equivalent of the code above for Objective C?

If you have an NSString, you can use -stringByAppendingString:, which gives you back a new NSString object (different from the one you had initially). There are variants, like -stringByAppendingFormat:, etc.


If you have an NSMutableString, -appendString:, -appendFormat:. These modify the receiver directly.
