NSTokenField: How to get Selected Tokens text?

I hope you can help me as I cannot retrieve the text from an NSTokenField using the following logic. The issue I am experiencing with this code is that it will return to me the full string of all the tokens. I want to be able to only retrieve the text that has been selected by the user. Can this be done ?

- (IBAction)onRemoveSelectedCategory:(id)sender
{
    NSLog(@"CategoryTokenField Selection: %@", [_categoryTokenField.selectedCell stringValue]);

}

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Michael

You need to use the representedObject method of the selectedCell

- (IBAction)onRemoveSelectedCategory:(id)sender
{
    NSLog(@"CategoryTokenField Selection: %@", [_categoryTokenField.selectedCell representedObject]);

}

or 

-(void) onRemoveSelectedCategory:(id)sender
{

    if([sender respondsToSelector:@selector(representedObject)]){

        NSCell *cell = (NSCell *)sender;

        NSString *token = cell.representedObject;

    }

}
