It's this line
[textLabel setStringValue:@"\"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is %d characters long", string,
stringLength];
The setStringValue function does not take more than one argument. If you
want to format the string like that try
[textlabel setStringValue: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"\"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is
%d
characters long", string, stringLength] ]
