I saw this post on the list previously.
However I am still unable to write to a file... I have tried everything...
Here is my code for my main.m file. What am I missing?
I am running a Mac OS X 10.4.11 and editing with Xcode 2.2.1
HERE IS MY CODE FOR main.m:
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
/* Define what file to write to on local hard drive... */
NSString *fname="/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/htdocs/data/data.txt";
/* CREAT EMPTY FILE? */
[@"" writeToFile:fname atomically:NO];
NSFileHandle *fh=[NSFileHandle fileHandleForWritingAtPath:fname];
/* WRITE DATA TO FILE: THIS IS A TEST */
[fh writeData:"THIS IS A TEST"];
[fh closeFile];
return NSApplicationMain(argc, (const char **) argv);
}
/* end main.m */

how can i create a 0 length file that i will throughout the processes of my app write data to. this is mixed string and binary data.
Do you insist on this workflow?
In a vast majority of cases you just write the complete file atomically, like
NSData *d=... the contents of file computed somehow ...
[d writeToFile:FILENAME atomically:YES];
Nevertheless, you can use NSFileHandle
NSString *fname=...;
[@"" writeToFile:fname atomically:NO]; // create the empty file
NSFileHandle *fh=[NSFileHandle fileHandleForWritingAtPath:fname];
...
[fh writeData:... partial contents of file computed somehow ...]; // as many times as you want to
...
[fh closeFile];
