I am trying to create an NSArray of Strings from a text file.
Here's the code i've been using:
NSString *title = @"facts";
NSString *type = @"txt";
NSString *seperation = @"/n";
NSMutableArray *factArray = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:[[NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle]
pathForResource:title ofType:type]
encoding:NSMacOSRomanStringEncoding error:NULL]
componentsSeparatedByString:seperation]];
But it seems to give some extra objects with no text in, i need to fix this. Just if it helps this the text file I've been using it with:
/nFeet sizes in England are measured in Barleycorns. /n
Elephants laugh and cry. /n
Trousers kill 12 people a year. /n
