How do you split NSString into component parts?

Question

In Xcode, if I have an NSString containing a number, ie @"12345", how do I split it into an array representing component parts, ie "1", "2", "3", "4", "5"... There is a componentsSeparatedByString on the NSString object, but in this case there is no delimiter...

Answer 1

There is a ready member function of NSString for doing that:

NSString* foo = @"safgafsfhsdhdfs/gfdgdsgsdg/gdfsgsdgsd";
NSArray* stringComponents = [foo componentsSeparatedByString:@"/"];
