Your question is a simple problem, actually, that hides a hard problem. Creating a regex from a bunch of strings is simple, just take all the words and OR them together, so in your example: Word1 | Word2 | Word5 | Word8 | Word11 | Word19 | Word23 | Word45 | Word77 Unfortunately, there is no known

Hi Joan, As Keary says, removing in -dealloc is probably not the best thing to do as there are a few cases that this can bite you, like if your window controller retains the view controllers, and -dealloc is called on the window controller, which would proceed to release its collection of
