Question

I have the following code. word.txt is in “Supporting Files”:

NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath];
filePath = [filePath stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"words.txt"]; 
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:filePath];

When I run using the simulator, data is not read properly but if I use the actual device, it works fine.

What is the problem?

Answer 1

This is how I do it and it seems to work for me:

NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"words" ofType:@"txt"];
    NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:filePath];
    if (data) {
        NSLog(@"DATA:%@",data);
    }

And to set it to a string:

NSString* string = [[NSString alloc]initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
        NSLog(@"WORDS:%@",string);
