What happens if you resave your file in the plist editor? Does it work after plist editor appends the encoding/dtd/version goop at the top?

Ok, given a file setup like the following:

<string> more info </string>

I had hoped that the following code would work: (given that masterList is NSArray type and the file does exist at that location)

NSString *dataPath = [NSHomeDirectory()
stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents/books.dat"];

masterList = [[NSArray alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:dataPath];

Since this doesnt work, I am obviously missing something. Is there a better way to format the file? Is there a different init method I should use?

Secondary question, is there any equivalent method to NSHomeDirectory() that would return the path to the directory that the app is running in? Ala NSAppDirectory()?

Thanks.
