Question

I am trying to write an NSData object to file, the code I am using is as follows.. The issue I am having is that it never creates the file..

// create file
NSFileManager *filemgr;
NSData *databuffer;

filemgr = [NSFileManager defaultManager];

databuffer = [filemgr contentsAtPath: @"/Users/imac/Desktop/mydata.dat" ];

// write to file
databuffer = [filemgr contentsAtPath: @"/Users/imac/Desktop/mydata.dat" ];

[filemgr createFileAtPath: @"/Users/imac/Desktop/mydata.dat" contents:receivedData attributes: nil];

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

It turns out that you can (I just learned about it).

Here is a similar question. (the code you provided also should work).

Don’t forget to run it in simulator (not on iDevice) to get it to work.
