Question

trying to make an iPhone app and going through the tutorials and books recommended by those before me 🙂 I’m trying to find information on the scanf/storing user input data from a text field into a variable which I can use later in my program. The text field is actually a number field, so I am trying to save the integers they input and not the text since there won’t be any in my case. Am I on the wrong path here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You want NSNumberFormatter. The data formatters ( Apple Guide) handle conversions to and from strings as well as formatting for output.
