I am using and NSSCanner to scan out some quotes in a text view subclass, but the following code causes and endless loop and I cannot find the problem.

Can anyone help :-)?

NSCharacterSet *charSet = [NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:@"\""]; NSScanner * theScanner = [NSScanner scannerWithString:[self string]]; [theScanner setCharactersToBeSkipped:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceCharacterSet]];

BOOL inQuote = NO; unsigned int quotePosition; while ([theScanner isAtEnd] == NO) { if ([theScanner scanString:@”"” intoString:NULL]) {

	if (inQuote)
	{ 
		// We found a quote, except it's not working ;)
		NSLog([self substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(quotePosition,[theScanner scanLocation]-quotePosition)]);
	} else
	{
		inQuote = YES;
		quotePosition = [theScanner scanLocation];
	}
} [theScanner scanUpToCharactersFromSet:charSet intoString:nil]; }

Try adding inQuote = NO; after your NSLog. —- Thanks
