Question

How do i get the file which is saved under

-(NSString *) dataFilePath
{
    NSArray *path = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *documentDirectory = [path objectAtIndex:0];
    return [documentDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Answer.plist"];
}

NSString *filePath = [self dataFilePath];
    if ([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:filePath])
    { NSArray *array = [[NSArray alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:filePath];
        NSLog(@"%@\n",array);
        NSLog(@"%@\n", filePath);
    }

and is there any way any way to add items to the plist without overwriting it?

Answer 1

You can use this:

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES); 
        NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0]; 
        path = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Answer.plist"];

        NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:path];
        NSLog(@"array, %@",array);
        [array removeObjectAtIndex:yourIndex];

or

[array addObjectAtIndex:yourIndex];

[array writeToFile:path atomically:YES];
