Hey guys,

I'm trying to append a string to another string in the below code:

Code:
- (void)colorWellChanged:(id)sender
{
	NSString *hexSymbol = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"#"];
	NSString *hex = [self colorToHTMLColorCode:[sender color]];
	NSLog(@"My Hex Is: %@", hex);
	[hexSymbol stringByAppendingString:hex];
	[hexTextField setStringValue:hexSymbol];
}

So I run the app, it gets the correct values (the hex), but in the text field, only the hexSymbol string is shown (#). What I am wanting is for the hex value to be added after the #. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Oliver

make it hexSymbol = [hexSymbol stringByAppendingString:whatever];

while you're at it, you could delete the first line and make the second to last one:
hexSymbol = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"#%@", hex];

Remember, stringByAppendingString: is an NSString method, not NSMutableString. As such, it can't modify the receiver. It returns an autoreleased string that contains the text of the receiver as well as the argument.

So what you want is hexSymbol = [hexSymbol stringByAppendingString:hex]. Or you could just go with an NSMutableString to begin with.
