>assembly deleted< First, I'd suggest you post the backtrace of the crash, not the assembly. Trying to debug a crash by looking at the assembly at the crash site is typically a method of near-last resort. Given zero context, the above lines of code look fine. Context needed to deduce this farther would be things like how filePath is initialized, how myMutableString was created, and the actual backtrace of the crash (and any other diagnostic messages, including whether or not you took a pass after "build and analyze" and fixed any problems it identified). b.bum _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
