I've got a problem recognizing PHP code in HTML with the lexical
analizer cocoa provides. I've been using regular expressions for quite
some time now, but I can't seem to get this right. Here's what i've
tried so far:

This short program
    #import <AppKit/NSApplication.h>
    int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {
        [NSApplication sharedApplication];

Disclaimer: I have about 30 hours of experience with Xcode 2.0, and
have no experience with previous releases.

Now that I have to move (reluctantly) to XCode. Leaving PPx behind
sounds like a waste of time and effort invested. Especially when Apple
itself Doesn't have any C++ solution to UI element programming.
HIFramework is only for customized HIView, not standard ones.

the first visible item in an NSTableView is always the one at index zero.
the last item can also be located easily, by calling the view's data source
and getting it to tell you the number of items in the view.  alas, with an
NSOutlineView, it's not so easy, because the "number of ...

I've got a problem handling kEventControlTrack in HIViews.  I install
the event handler along with all my others events, but when I handle
the event in my callback, it doesn't pick it up. I've simplified

wish to access in a command line application.  I know that the dylib is
working, as I can access those functions from a RealBasic application;
however, I can't seem to get it to work in my command line program.  I

I am used to Codewarrior but just checked XCode 2.1. Is there any

ITs Project type is MAC OS X PowerPC Mach-O Linker. It was compiling
porperrly on CW 8.0 But on CW 9.3 its gives error like:
        Since the following files comes under MSL_C/MSL_COMMON/Include

I'm probably just being waaaay too hasty, but I've installed
the 2.1 version and done a really, really simple app that

box though, it won't compile - it gives a bunch of undefined

I was wondering if anyone either knows how to or could point me to
someplace to learn how to write data to a file.  i'm using cocoa and
need to know a good way to save numbers (floats) entered in text fileds
by the user.  I can't figure out how to simple write the float number
