Re: Storing NSColor & NSData objects in an XML document

I want to write out NSColor objects to XML. I know I can archive them into NSData objects, and a string representation from those. The string can then be added to the XML. What I have trouble with is getting the string back into an NSData object so that I can unarchive. Any pointers?

Ok, I might simply be less than smart here, and the answer is probably obvious, but I can't see it. The basic issue is: I have an NSData object and want to store it in an XML node, then later restore it from an XML node. Lots of sifting through documentation and usually helpful internet sites and generally making the cogs in my brain groan, squeak and creak for the better part of yesterday and today yielded no usable results.


I know how to (un)archive NSData objects to/from disk and user defaults, but am not sure how to turn them into strings (to store in XML elements) and especially how to restore them from strings that represent NSData objects.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
