Question

I’m trying to read in a text file and save character arrays as NSStrings.

For example, if the file contains just the word “Hello” I want to have an NSString containing “Hello”

How can I do this?

Answer 1

NSString *string = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:filePath usedEncoding:&encoding error:&error];

filePath should be a string with the path to file
encoding (NSStringEncoding) will contain the encoding used
error (NSError *) will contain an error if one occurs

string will contain the contents of the file or will be nil if an error occurred
