Why is stringValue failing here?

Question

I'm trying to bring data into my app from an external file. everything's working until I add the event.title (the 3rd objectAtIndex below). I think I'm incorrectly using "stringValue" and it should be something else. the floatValues work fine.

event.latitude = [[values objectAtIndex:0] floatValue];

event.longitude = [[values objectAtIndex:1] floatValue];

event.title = [[values objectAtIndex:2] stringValue];

here's the header file code:

    float latitude;
    float longitude;
    NSString *title;
}

@property (nonatomic) float latitude;
@property (nonatomic) float longitude;
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *title;

thanks in advance.

Answer 1

For strings, you don't need to get stringValue or anything. floatValue is for NSNumber, but you already have a plain NSString.

event.title = [values objectAtIndex:2];

Answer 2

How is the string stored in the file, and how are you reading the file?

I would assume you can just drop the stringValue method and directly assign the return from objectAtIndex: - assuming the object is read in as a string.
