NSString tokenize in Objective-C

What is the best way to tokenize/split a NSString in Objective-C?

Found answer here:

NSString *string = @"oop:ack:bork:greeble:ponies";
NSArray *chunks = [string componentsSeparatedByString: @":"];

Everyone has mentioned componentsSeparatedByString: but you can also use CFStringTokenizer (remember that an NSString and CFString are interchangeable) which will tokenize natural languages too (like Chinese/Japanese which don't split words on spaces).

If you just want to split a string, use -[NSString componentsSeparatedByString:]. For more complex tokenization, use the NSScanner class.
