Question

i m trying to read a text file from my app bundle the contents of file are:

1234567890

but when i display the string after reading its like this:

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\cocoartf1038\cocoasubrtf320
{\fonttbl\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Helvetica;}
{\colortbl;\red255\green255\blue255;}

\f0\fs24 \cf0 1234567890
\
\
\
\
\
\
\
\
}

how can i get the exact string and not the garbage ? my code is this:

NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"pankaj"    ofType:@"rtf"];  
  if (filePath) {  
  NSString *myText = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:filePath];  

 if (myText) {  
  NSLog(@"%@",myText); 
 }  
 }  

good answers will ve appreciated

Answer 1

You are reading a rich-text formatted resource (rtf) as plain text. The string you get is the plain text representation of that rtf resource.

Why don’t you add the file as a plain text file?
