Which site?

What other solutions? Post some code.

What errors? What didn't work? Be specific.

I have always just used:

[textField.text intValue];

or

[textField.text doubleValue];

The text property returns an NSString. If you look up NSString in the documentation, you will see in the long list of methods, that there is a section of methods labeled "Getting Numeric Values". The two above methods are there as well as a couple other ones (like boolean, long, etc.).

Three simple rules of thumb:
1. Post your code.
2. Describe what you expected to happen.
3. Describe what did happen. Include the actual text of any error messages.

When you leave any of these out, we have to guess.
Guessing is a remarkably bad debugging approach.

A fourth rule:
4. If you didn't write the code yourself, tell us exactly where you copied it from: a book (title & author), a website (give the URL), etc.
