Hell all,
Let's suppose I've got NSString @"C:omponent" , which represents
the name of a file. Is there a way to instruct NSString class not
to treat a leading single letter followed by a column as a path
separator? Namely, I need this one treated as only one path
component @"C:omponent", but NSString sees two, @"C:" and
"omponent". So, if I ask for the last path component, I get
@"omponent" instead of the whole string @"C:omponent".
I don't believe so, as I believe colon-separators are are deeply
ingrained into the file system. You will probably need to parse the
path names yourself. Look at one of the regex libraries for easy
parsing.

I tried this, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with HFS+
paths, as Cocoa abstracts colons away into slashes there anyway.
What's more, it only does this if you have only one letter before the
colon, as in @"C:omponent". If you use @"CC:omponent" instead, it
doesn't split it. If anything, it seems to look like it's thinking the
path is an MS-DOS path which starts with a drive letter.
