Cast NSString into NSMutableString

[joshholat]

Is there any way to take the text from a UITextField and put it into a NSMutableString without the warning: "initialization from distinct Obj-c type."

Or is there simply a way to turn a regular string into an NSMutableString?

Remember to post the solution, when you've solved your problem.
Someone might look at this thread in the future.

NSMutableString *mutableString = [NSMutableString stringWithString:textField.text];

I have a similar problem, in that scanf("%s", <var_name>) isn't working. I'm guessing that I need to do something to convert to NSMutableString?

[edit]
If I should be using another method to read in NSMutableString from the keyboard, please feel free to bring it to my attention.
