Question

I am new to IOS programming. I want to write some data into file. I have opened successfully the file in Document path. But fwrite its not working as expected. If I open the file its empty. Its my code I’m using. What I’m doing wrong.

 typedef struct test {
        int a;
  } TEST_OBJ;

    TEST_OBJ test_obj1;
    test_obj1.a = 5;
    TEST_OBJ *data_ptr = &test_obj1;

    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
    NSString *appFile = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"MyFile1.txt"];

    //This is working fine.
   // [data writeToFile:appFile atomically:YES];


    NSFileManager *fileManager = [[NSFileManager alloc]init];
    char const *path = [fileManager fileSystemRepresentationWithPath:appFile];


   FILE *fp = fopen(path, "w+b");


    // This write is not working. File is empty.
    int cnt = fwrite (data_ptr , 1 , sizeof(test_obj1) , fp );
    fclose(fp);
    fp = NULL;

Anyone pls tell me what I’m doing wrong?
