I'd start with NSFileHandle or just open().
<file:///Developer/ADC Reference Library/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSFileHandle_Class/Reference/Reference.html>
<file:///var/tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/pb-man/Documentation/open-2.html>
Also, I'd read the section on file handling.
<file:///Developer/ADC Reference Library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/LowLevelFileMgmt/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000055i>

Secondly, stop trying to use NSTask to do everything. NSTask should be the _last_ tool you turn to after all other programmatic solutions prove impossible.
You seem to be new to Cocoa (and possibly UNIX) programming, I'd strongly suggest that you begin each new venture by first browsing one of the many "Introduction to" documents in the Cocoa section of the Apple Developer Reference Library. It will save you a lot of wandering around grasping for a solution.
