here's what I have:

Code:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>


@interface tScanner : NSScanner {

}

- (BOOL)scanPast:(NSString *)string;

@end



#import "tScanner.h"


@implementation tScanner


- (BOOL)scanPast:(NSString *)string
{
    if (![self scanUpToString:string intoString:nil]) return NO;
    if (![self scanString:string intoString:nil]) return NO;
    return YES;
}

@end

and the program seems to get by
tScanner *scan = [[tScanner alloc] initWithString:];
but it crashes on the first scanUpToString:intoString:
if I switch it back to NSScanner, it works fine. I know I've subslcassed NS classes successfully before....someone throw me a bone please

PS. obviously it would be easier to do this the long way with NSScanner, but I hope to expand to other conveniences once I get this working

NSScanner is a class cluster, which you have to subclass differently. There is some documentation at developer.apple.com, or on your hard drive. Unfortunately, I do not remember where. If you do an archive search at http://cocoa.mamasam.com you should find some posts on the subject.

Also, did you consider using a category instead? This seems like it would be much easier.

If u want to extend a class but not add any instance variables, using a category is much easier.
