How to locate coding examples for specified commands [Newbie]
Can anyone direct me to an on-line resource that includes examples of how to use specific Cocoa commands? (Are things like - (NSString *)capitalizedString called 'commands' or should I call them something else?) It's often so much easier to understand how it works by seeing an example. I would like, for example, to see that - (NSString *)capitalizedString ..is available for use and that an example of its use might be: [textField1 setStringValue:[[textField2 stringValue] capitalizedString]]; or NSString *string = @tHe uniVERSity of TEXAS; NSString *capstring = [string capitalizedString]; (The above example I found at http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2001/07/13/cocoa.html?page=lastx-order=datex-maxdepth=0 after a brief trawl) I realise I can Google 'capitalizedString' and start going through the 917 results to see which links contain examples and then try to extract the example that are Cocoa but this seems a very slow and cumbersome way of finding the answer - especially if I have to do it for every single command I'm trying to study. For example, these from Google are (presumably!) not Cocoa: set contents of text field inputField of window myWindow to call method capitalizedString of (contents of text field inputField of window myWindow myString.capitalizedString() pbString := pbString capitalizedString. etc. If someone can recommend a searchable resource, the first thing I'll be looking up is stringWithContentsOfFile:encoding:error: (I would have used this as an example above but can't find an example of its usage!) ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Of course. Good luck getting started.

I assume you have looked at Apple extensive API and conceptual documentation? The are available directly in Xcode either via Help menu - Documentation or in addition via the research assistant in Xcode 3.x. The are also available online at Apple Developer Connection... http://developer.apple.com/referencelibrary/Cocoa/index.html If you haven't make sure to read the Cocoa Fundamentals conceptual documentation (and the docs it references)... http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CocoaFundamentals It looks like you should review the Objective-C language documentation given your question should I call them commands, etc. http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ObjectiveC -Shawn ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Phil, I'd add Google Code Search to the aforementioned. http://www.google.com/codesearch In its advanced mode you can stipulate that the match must be in Objective-C.
