nsscanner

Could someone please show how i could parse a ics file using NSScanner? (Iphone App) e.g: if the .ics file was at this URL http://www.ibz.com/data/12345.ics (not a real URL!!!) How would i firstly save the .ics file into my iphone app and then secondly how would i parse the .ics file using NSScanner?? Please provide code examples.. Code examples to do this completely and well would be quite extensive, and SO isn't the place for large sample applications. With that in mind, the general solutions would be: Use a NSURLRequest and NSURLConnection to get an HTTP connection to download the file;

I've just read Apple's docu of NSScanner. I'm trying to get the integer of that string: @"user logged (3 attempts)". I can't find any example, how to scan within parentheses. Any ideas? Here's the code: NSString *logString = @"user logged (3 attempts)"; NSScanner *aScanner = [NSScanner scannerWithString:logString]; [aScanner scanInteger:anInteger]; NSLog(@"Attempts: %i", anInteger); Ziltoid `Here is what I do to get certain values out of a string First I have this method defined - (NSString *)getDataBetweenFromString:(NSString *)data leftString:(NSString *)leftData rightString:(NSString *
