Newbie Question about Converting From NSTextField to NSData

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]];

// 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.
