Thank...

Answer 1

Use the NSString method stringWithContentsOfFile :.

NSString *fileContents = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:@"some/file.txt"];

Answer 2

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];

    NSString *myPathDocs =  [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"myfile.txt"];

    if (![[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:myPathDocs])
    {
        NSString *myPathInfo = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"myfile" ofType:@"txt"];
        NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
        [fileManager copyItemAtPath:myPathInfo toPath:myPathDocs error:NULL];
    }       

    //Load from File
NSString *myString = [[NSString alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:myPathDocs encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:NULL];

It worked for me

Anyway, thanks to everyone ..
