Hi All,

I've been experiencing problems with the writeToFile: method for the NSDictionary class. I would like to write a dictionary's contents to a .txt file. I've already created the required .txt file and placed in the folder of the application. I have also added the .txt file as a resource within the application through Project Builder. The following is the code that I am using:

// creating path
blockListDictPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"BlockedDevicesList" ofType:@"txt"];

// creating dictionary
blockedDirectory = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject: connectToDevice forKey: deviceName];

// calling writeToFile
if ([blockedDirectory writeToFile:blockListDictPath atomically:YES])
{NSLog(@"Success Writing to File");}
else
{NSLog(@"Failure Writing to File");}

Irrespective of my using 'YES' and 'NO' values for atomically, I get failure in writing to the file.

Is it even possible to write a dictionary to a .txt file? Am I missing something? Any other suggestions for doing what I need to do?

Thanks for all your help.
Best Regards,
Hussain
