Well, maybe I just need another look at this, but I have the following lines of code in one of my controllers. It takes some data from the file and fills it into an array, using "\ n" as a delimiter. Then I use this array to create an NSDictionary, which is used to populate the table. It is very simple. However, it does not work. Here is the code:
NSString *dataString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:checklistPath encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding error:NULL];
if ([dataString hasPrefix:@"\n"]) {
dataString = [dataString substringFromIndex:1];
}
NSArray *tempArray = [dataString componentsSeparatedByString:@"\n"];
NSLog(@"datastring:%@",dataString);
NSLog(@"temp array:",tempArray);
NSLog(@"%i",[tempArray count]);
NSDictionary *temporaryDictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject: tempArray forKey:@"User Generated Checklist"];
self.names = temporaryDictionary;
NSLog(@"names:%@",names);
therefore, the correct date setting in the log is correct; therefore, it correctly extracts data from the file. however for tempArray I get:
2010-05-17 19:15:55.825 MyApp[7309:207] temp array:
for the tempArray parameter that I get:
2010-05-17 19:15:55.826 myApp[7309:207] 5
which is the correct number of rows in the array
. , . - NSLog, NSDictionary (), :
2010-05-17 19:15:55.827 FS Companion[7309:207] names:{
"User Generated Checklist" = (
"System|||ACTION",
"System|||ACTION",
"System|||ACTION",
"System|||ACTION",
"System|||ACTION"
);
