That's faster (and simpler) to *write*, but it performs no better than enumerating a C array. It is, in fact, implemented by sending -countByEnumeratingWithState:objects:count: to the array, then enumerating over the C array that's returned by reference from that method. sherm-- -- Cocoa programming in Perl: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
