I got a really great answer from Corbin Dunn who explained that what I was
doing was not giving me what I wanted: asking for a field editor for the cell
wasn't sensible; what I really wanted was the field editor for the control, ie
the tableView.
In essence he suggested I should change my code to:
NSText *textEditor;
[csvTableView editColumn:col row:row withEvent:nil select:NO];
textEditor = [csvWindow fieldEditor:YES forObject:csvTableView];
[textEditor setSelectedRange:[match range]];
which is not just shorter, it works!
Ben.
