Is it possible to NSLog() without the time and date stamps, and the automatic newline?

Question

Does NSLog() have variants that print without the time and date stamps, and the automatic newline?

Thanks. Now with following code, I can print NSString, cString, or objects:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <stdio.h>

int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
  NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

  NSString *s = @"Hello, World!";
  NSDate *today = [NSDate date];

  NSLog(@"%@", s);
  printf("%s at %s", [s UTF8String], [[today description] UTF8String]);

  [pool drain];
  return 0;
}  

Answer 1

Use printf() instead of NSLog()

Answer 2

It bothered me too, so I wrote a function to replace NSLog() and printf():

void IFPrint (NSString *format, ...) {
    va_list args;
    va_start(args, format);

    fputs([[[[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:format arguments:args] autorelease] UTF8String], stdout);

    va_end(args);
}

Then, you can just use it instead of NSLog() (e.g. IFPrint(@"Current date: %@", [NSDate date])), but it won't print out any timestamps or a newline, and you don't have to mess around with C strings and arrays, and whatnot. It's pretty handy, I'd say.

If you want, check out my full code (I've also written a replacement for fprintf, scanf, and fscanf) here.
(There's also an SO topic about it here).
