Adding an object with "text"

Question

Hello,

I'm stumped or just not finding info I need, I have an object that I want to save in an array when they select "saveDataround" button, however I can't seem to figure out how to populate the object with the text "Round": I'm getting an "Expected identifier" and "Expected , ;" errors on the first and second lines of code. Thanks in advance.

[NSString *roundChoice = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Round"];
self.round.text = roundChoice;]

- (IBAction)saveDataround {
    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
    NSString *recipient = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/arrayChoiceRound", documentsDirectory];
    NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
    [array addObject:round.text];
    [array writeToFile:recipient atomically:NO];
}

Where are the first two lines of code implemented? What are they supposed to do?

Here's how I would modify the above code without more info:

// remove "[" from start of line & no need to use stringWithFormat here
NSString *roundChoice = @"Round";

// remove "]" from end of line
self.round.text = roundChoice;

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

    // use stringByAppendingPathComponent here
    NSString *recipient = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"arrayChoiceRound"];
    NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

    // use self here (not required)
    [array addObject:self.round.text];

    [array writeToFile:recipient atomically:NO];

    // release the array
    [array release];
}
