Is there a method built in to NSString that tokenizes the string and searches

  • 0

Is there a method built in to NSString that tokenizes the string and searches the beginning of each token? the compare method seems to only do the beginning of a string, and using rangeOfString isn’t really sufficient because it doesn’t have knowledge of tokens. Right now I’m thinking the best way to do this is to call 

[myString componentsSeparatedByString:@' ']

and then loop over the resulting array, calling compare on each component of the string. Is this built-in and I just missed it?

  1. Using CFStringTokenizer for, um, tokenizing strings will be more robust than splitting on @' ', but searching the results is still left up to you.
