Question

I have a C function with the following method signature.

NSString* md5( NSString *str ) 

How do I call this function, pass in a string, and save the returned string?

I tried the following, but it did not work:

NSString *temp= [[NSString alloc]initWithString:md5(password)]; 

thanks for your help

You’re making it too hard. The stuff in []‘s is effectively smalltalk. What you want is to just call the function in C:

NSString * temp = md5(password);
