there is all work just fine, the takeText is working well at analyzing the text and removing other letters, like !@$^&*(), the biggest problem is when a user type-in "Hello. ", its make the app crush.
Do you have e-mail or MSN or Skype that I can explain you the problem with screen sharing or something?
So I'm confused, didn't you say that the app didn't crash, but that takeText.text was just an empty string? If the app crashes what is the error in the debugger? Are there any warnings when you compile? Often when I try to set an NSString to a constant and forget the @ symbol my app will crash without a peep.
Have you tried walking through your app with breakpoints? Are you SURE that this is the line causing your app to crash?
