Hi.

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?

You can use the -(NSString *)stringByAppendingString: (NSString*)theString method:

NSString myNewString = [myOldString stringByAppendingString:@" more stuff"];

Don't forget to retain myNewString if you want it to stick around for a while. You could also do:

myString = [myString stringByAppendingString:@" more stuff"];

but if myString wasn't created by a string constant @"..." you will obviously be leaking (unless the original myString was
also autoreleased already).
