You should instead use a mutable string and -[NSMutableString replaceCharactersInRange:withString:]. NSMutableString* tmpString = [[inputString mutableCopy] autorelease]; while([tmpString isMatchedByRegex:regexString]) { range = [tmpString rangeOfRegex:regexString]; [tmpString replaceCharactersInRange:range withString:@""]; } -Shawn _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
