Question

hey guys,
I created a Table View with Navigation Controller, in a Tab Bar Application. This is the code I used to populate my Table View with data:

- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];

self.title = NSLocalizedString(@"Glossary", @"Back");

NSMutableArray *array = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"Title1", @"Title2", @"Title3", @"Title4", @"Title5", @"Title6", @"Title7", @"Title8", @"Title9", nil];
self.glossaryArray = array;
[array release];

}

So there are my 9 data examples that I created manually using that array string, but I want to make things easier, how can I populate my Table View using a .plist file? I have a big plist file that I want to load into my Table View, but I don’t know how to code it in, hope I can get help with this,

thanks

You can create an array from your plist just by creating it with :

+ (id)arrayWithContentsOfFile:(NSString *)aPath

To find the path of your plist file, you can use NSBundle‘s

- (NSString *)pathForResource:(NSString *)name ofType:(NSString *)extension
