Cocoa: put returns in NSString to keep it to a certain width

[Simon Slavin]

I have an NSString. Sometimes it contains only a tiny bit of text
but sometimes it's more than that. If it'll be wider than a
certain amount I want to display it on multiple lines. I know what
font, etc. it'll be drawn in.

How do I figure out where to put the returns ? Is there a function
which will wrap the string for me or tell me where to wrap it ?

Just display it in an NSTextView or NSTextField that you've set to wrap
its text. Then it'll automatically wrap.

Then how do I look at it and see where it was wrapped ?
I can't use those things as the ultimate destinations for it,
I have to take the wrapped string and do more things with it.
