when i refer to a file, i used:
file = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:[Folder
stringByAppendingPathComponent: FileName]];
Folder is set up as:
Folder = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:[@"path"
stringByExpandingTildeInPath]];
and Filename is:
FileName = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithString:@"filename.txt"];
perhaps that may help.

It seems that whenever I use Xcode to spawn the program, it is able

never, ever find the file. I've been looking online and no one
seems to have come across this before or maybe it's because it's so
late that I'm not seeing the obvious.
NSString *fileContents = [[NSString alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:
[filename stringValue]
encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding
error:nil];
Filename is an NSTextField outlet, btw.
We've tried all sorts of things to try and find the file,
File.txt, ./File.txt, ~/File.txt, "./File.txt". I can understand
maybe the ~ doesn't work for all shells but explicitly using
./File.txt should be opening the file in the current directory with
the executable, shouldn't it? Do I *really* have to append a huge
long path each time I want to open a file?
Any ideas? It says path and the documentation says that it has to
be NSString. I've used filepaths before for open() but those are C
strings and those are full paths though, i.e., /dev/stdout. It's
such a simple problem what am I missing here?
