Thanks very much for the prompt replies. I think I’d tried
scrollView.borderType = .NSNoBorder (and lots of other things), but didn’t
think of leaving off the “NS”.

In objective-c programs, there are places where one can write lines like the
following:
[scrollview setBorderType:NSNoBorder];
with NSNoBoarder being specified in an enum in NSView. But enums in swift are
a different sort of beast, and I’ve not yet figured out what get the same job
done.

I have a simple OS X project ( in swift 2.0 and Xcode 7.0) and that is
supposed to open a .txt file and display the file’s contents in a document
window. For the most part, it works correctly, except that
windowControllerDidLoadNib is called twice each time I chose OpenFile from the
file menu
t 1.2, which is what I’m using, might not work; I’ll give

I’m in the process of re-writing some obj-c code in swift for OS X and am
stumped on how to set tab stops. The relevant obj-c code looks like this:
[paraStyle setTabStops:[NSArray array]];
for (cnt = 1; cnt <= numStops; cnt++) {
tabStop = [[NSTextTab alloc

I'm dealing with a situation in which I have to scan strings that are separated
by tabs, and for each string, I have to extract two numerical values, with
these values being separated by a non-numerical character or not being
separated by any character at all. I know the maximum number of chara

Quite by chance, I stumbled on to what seems to be an error that ought to be
caught by the compiler but wasn't. Here's an example:
NSNumber *testNumber = [NSNumber numberWithInt:5];
int testInt = (int)testNumber;
However, the value of testInt when running the above is wildly in
to my original query.
