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.
