Hello everyone,
I'm new to Objective C. What I'm trying to do is pull a list from my site that comes out like this:

Code:
item 1<br>\n
item 2<br>\n
item 3<br>\n
etc<br>\n

And using the code below it all comes out on one line when I want it to be split.

Code:
    NSString *theWebString = @"http://mysite.com/getlist.php";
    NSURL *theWebURL = [NSURL URLWithString:theWebString];
    NSError *error;
    NSString *theWebPage = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:theWebURL 
                                                    encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding
                                                       error:&error];
    NSArray *lines = [theWebPage componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:@"\r\n"]];
    for (NSString* line in lines) {
        if (line.length) {
            NSLog(@"line: %@", line);
        }


Anyone have any ideas how I would go about doing this?

Thanks in advanced.
 
Figured it out by doing the following

Code:
NSArray *lines = [theWebPage componentsSeparatedByString:@"<br>"];
