Hi, I've just read Apple's docu of NSScanner. I'm trying to get the integer of that string: @"user logged (3 attempts)". I can't find any example, how to scan within parentheses. Any ideas? Here's the code: NSString *logString = @"user logged (3 attempts)"; NSScanner *aScanner = [NSScanner scannerWithString:logString]; [aScanner scanInteger:anInteger]; NSLog(@"Attempts: %i", anInteger); Regrads, Ruby
