As always, thanks in advance and sorry about such a bone headed newbie
question. I am reading an NSTextField and want to convert the string
value
into an NSData type. I am doing this:
// Read the data from the text field.
theNSString = [[NSSTring alloc] initWithString:[myTextField
stringValue]];
Is it just a typo in the mail on NSSTring?
// Get the length of the string.
length = [theNSString length];
// Convert the NSString to a C String.
theCString = [theNSSTring cString];
// Convert the C string to an NSData.
theNSData = [[[NSData alloc] initWithBytes:theCString length:length]
autorelease];
I know their is a better way.
There's a shorter way at least:
theNSData=[[myTextField stringValue]
dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES];
