Sharing some news about my company's partnership with MotherApp to develop and market cross-platform mobile apps.

@sherwingao: I have not needed to use NSScanner. I am now parsing effectively with substrings and indexes. Liking the game pieces in Poggle :)

BTW, my team and I have created an iPhone game, Poggle, over the semester. It's still a prototype and there's a lot of feature missing. You can view the demo video here. Feel free to leave comments!

@DavidNeely: I've compiled it correctly before I think, but it's been a long time since then and I don't quite remember the steps, sorry :( Has NSScanner worked well for you since?

@TimCloss: The semester's been very busy so I haven't gotten a chance to try it out yet. I hope that I'll be able to find some free time during this winter break to try it out :)

Got a simple hack working last night. Found the indexes of the img tag and the terminating double quote. Substr the NSString with the indexes. Correctly pulling the img src now, but will need to update the code to ensure it works on all Strings. Thanks for the comments. I will try it with NSScanner tonight.

@sherwingao: Regexlite will not compile in Xcode for me. Imported the two files, ensured the file type was sourcecode.c.objc and updated the build flags. Still does not compile. Does it compile correctly for you?
@stuartmalin: Thanks for the advice, I'm going to try out NSScanner tonight.

Hi, Tim from Ideaworks Labs here.

Sherwin, did you get a chance to try Airplay SDK? I'd be interested in your thoughts.

Jim, you are right that iPhone and Android are primary drivers for a lot of our development at present, certainly in terms of API breadth. The iPhone dev community is also driving us to make the entire SDK available for Mac, which we are now doing (first release Feb 2010). It's likely that other platforms will become significant over time though - e.g. Maemo, which of course Airplay will support soon.

Would love to encourage anyone interested to register free and download the entire SDK here: www.airplaysdk.com

Hope you'll find this of interest given the nature of the thread.

NSScanner is supported in the iPhone SDK.

Not a regex, but NSScanner class can be used to parse something straightforward like an img tag (presuming well formated). That said, I am not clear whether NSScanner is supported in iPhone.

A simple google search yields Regex Lite:

BTW, Airplay SDK allows devs to create apps for multiple platforms using C++. Check it out here. Supposedly the game "Resident Evil - Degeneration" for the iPhone was created using it, so that's pretty impressive.

I want to use a regular expression to get the contents of an img tag from an NSString but I read that regular expressions are not supported in Objective-C? (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/422138/regular-expressions-in-an-objective-c-cocoa-application) Got any suggestions?
