Question

I am using the following code in iPhone to write a string into the file that is stored in my iPhone Project Resource Folder. When i try to read its reading the data successfully but when i try to write its not writing the file although its aloso not giving me any error.

this is my code:

NSString *myString; //Assuume the string you want to write is this
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,     NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *path = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"myfile.txt"];
[myString writeToFile:path atomically:YES];

Please can anybody guide.

The writeToFile:atomically: has been depredecated in iOS 2.0. Use writeToFile:atomically:encoding:error: instead. You should check the content of the string, for example by NSLog() function. Inappropriate initialization can cause a failure.

NSLog(@"%@", myString);
[myString writeToFile:path atomically:YES encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:NULL];
