Question

This is how I save my mutable array actually.

[myMutableArray writeToFile:@"/Users/myUserIdentifier/Desktop/results.plist" atomically:YES]; 

The array contains basically many words and I want a Windows user to be able to read them AND I need them to go back to a new line for each word.

I’ve tried to add at the end of every words the tag and then save the file in .html:

[myMutableArray writeToFile:@"/Users/myUserIdentifier/Desktop/results.html" atomically:YES]; 

Actually the file is readable but too bad the tags have been formatted like so:

  <br> 

So Chrome dont understand it as a “go to a new line”.

Well, pretty messed up explanation, hope I’ll find a soul mate with a messy mind to understand all this stuff!

You just want to write an array containing strings to a file? Nothing fancy needed then. For example:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    NSAutoreleasePool *p = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
    NSMutableArray *words = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:@"fluffy",@"furball",@"scratcher",nil];
    FILE *filePointer = fopen("/Volumes/Weinberg/Users/alan/Desktop/cats.txt","w");
    [words enumerateObjectsUsingBlock:^(id obj, NSUInteger idx, BOOL *stop) {
        fprintf(filePointer,"%s\n",[obj UTF8String]);
    }];
    fclose(filePointer);
    [p release];
}
