Please do not post the same thing multiple times. The board software automatically flags certain posts as needing moderator attention. This happens the most often for new users. I'm pretty sure this is made clear at the time you attempt to post. Posting the same thing over and over again just makes that many more posts the moderators have to weed through later. This makes us sad. Don't make us sad. If your post/thread doesn't appear, just wait a while. Don't post it again. If it hasn't shown up by the next day, then you can try again. I normally go through posts in the mornings, and try to check a few times throughout the day, but I'm not here 24/7. There will typically be a significant delay before posts are approved. Just be patient.

Get the content from a file

Hi! I use Xcode4.6 (latest) and I'm learning the NSFilemanager and NSURL to get filetext. I tried to get simple text from a textfile like this:

//
// main.m
// ffff
//
// Created by Emil Willbas1 on 2013-02-06.
// Copyright (c) 2013 Emil Willbas1. All rights reserved.
//

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{

@autoreleasepool {

NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:@"/Users/emilwillbas1/Namnlost.txt"];

NSString *text = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:fileURL encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];

NSLog(@"Min fil innehåller texten %@", text);

}
return 0;
}



..but the log just wrote

"2013-02-18 21:29:49.771 ffff[2411:303] Min fil innehåller texten (null)"

Why? I'm pretty new to XCode so there might be a simple answer :)

    Check the URL is correct and you are using the correct encoding.
     NSError *error;
    NSStringEncoding encode;

    NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:@"/Users/emilwillbas1/Namnlost.txt"];

    NSString *text = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:fileURL usedEncoding:&encode error:&error];

    NSLog(@"Min fil innehåller texten %@", text);
