Thanks Axel.
I wish to add a second entry to the plist (e.g. numberKey 6). All my
attempts can only override the existing one (in this case numberKey 5):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd ">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>numberKey</key>
<integer>5</integer>
</dict>
<dict>
<key>numberKey</key>
<integer>6</integer>
</dict>
</plist>
Hmm... this will be problematic.
In fact, a plist needs a root. With the above, you would have two roots
(moreover, those roots would be indistinguishable, as they are unnamed
and don't belong to an ordered set).
So, assuming you really want dictionaries, each holding a single number,
you would at least need something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Some sub dict</key>
<dict>
<key>numberKey</key>
<integer>5</integer>
</dict>
<key>Another sub dict</key>
<dict>
<key>numberKey</key>
<string>6</string>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>
Alternatively, you could consider an array for the root (an array being
an ordered set):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>
<plist version="1.0">
<array>
<dict>
<key>numberKey</key>
<integer>5</integer>
</dict>
<dict>
<key>numberKey</key>
<integer>6</integer>
</dict>
</array>
</plist>
Perhaps could you a bit more precise about your needs, a plist of cookies?
Do you have entire control over the format of that plist, or do you have
to comply with some requirements?
HTH,
Axel
