Question

I am starting a very simple learning application and I am working with NSURLConnection and have started looking into reading the contents of a file for example, http://www.funnynewsletter.tk/files/files.txt and reading them as a String into Objective C.

I am wondering how to do this and print the saved string onto a label, “label”.

Can anyone help me out?

Here is my current code.

- (void) viewDidUnLoad
{
NSError* e;
NSString *str = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:@"http://funnynewsletter.tk/files/files.txt"];
if(e != nil) {
    NSLog(@"Error");
}
label.text = self.str;
}

This has errors on line 4 and 8. I have no clue what is going on. Can anyone help?

Answer 1

You are sending NSString instead of NSURL.

- (void) viewDidLoad
    {
    //NSError* e;
    NSString *str = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://funnynewsletter.tk/files/files.txt"]];
    //if(e != nil) {
    //    NSLog(@"Error");
    //}
    label.text = str;
    }

try this…
