Question

I want to write an array to a file, but then I got this: (the file is an .txt file

<plist>
<array>
<string>Jeroen</string>
<real>9.5</real>
</array>
</plist>

In my code I have:

[Leerling writeToURL:fileURL atomically:YES];

But I want in the .txt file: NAME + , + SCORE only, how can I do this?

Answer 1

Then you can’t use the built in function, you have to make your own.

Possible pseudocode solution:

Make a NSMutableString. This will be the string that is written to
file.
Append the format you want to the string using the data from the
array.
Add a newline.
Write this string to file.

Requested in comment

NSMutableString *yourString = [[[NSMutableString alloc] init] autorelease];

for (int i = 0; i < [yourArray count]; i++) {
    YourObject *yourObject = [yourArray objectAtIndex:i];
    [yourString appendFormat:@"%s + %s\n", yourObject.name, yourObject.score];
}

[yourString writeToURL:yourURL atomically:YES encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:NULL];
