I want to read a text file called “config.txt” from my application’s bundle and display it in a UITextView. The code below is not working, can anyone help me?

IF i want to display it on a View then what i should do as well.

I have a IBOutlet to a UITextView, also please tell me how to change the text font and colour programmatically.

NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"config" ofType:@"txt"];  
if (filePath) {  
    NSString *myText = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:filePath encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    if (myText) {  
        textView.text= myText;    
    }
}


[super viewDidLoad];

    Check to make sure textView is not nil and that you setup the IBOutlet connection in Interface Builder.

    To set the font and color of the UITextView programmatically, use:

    textView.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:18.0f];

    and

    textView.textColor = [UIColor blueColor];
