What is the best way to take an NSString and reverse the characters so that
"hello" becomes "olleh"?
Thanks for any and all help,

Hi Gabe.

I don't think there's anything in Cocoa that does this for you. I needed to reverse strings and came up with this:

- (NSString *)reverseString:(NSString *)aString
{
        
        // Do the reversing with the help of an array of chars
        int i, j;
        const int stringLength = [aString length];
        char reverseChars[stringLength];
        for (i = stringLength - 1, j = 0; i >= 0; i--, j++)
        {
                char c = [aString characterAtIndex:i];
                reverseChars[j] = c;
        }
reverseChars[j] = '\0';// create a C (UTF8) string by adding a null char NSString *backwardsString = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:reverseChars];

        return backwardsString;
}

HTH,
Ron
