why not just use standard C FILE* pointers? man fopen(), man fclose()?

Well, one, because I don't know C ;) (I come from a C++ background), and two, I'm really trying to learn Cocoa as well as I can.
I'm going to look into this method, though, because this program has to be ready to go in a week or so.

Subject: [Newbie] writing plain text to a file

Hi all,

I've been programming Cocoa for a couple months now, but getting really
into it the last 2 or 3 weeks. I've got this program which generates a
random number in a specified interval, and writes that number, and the
next 100 or so numbers above it. It needs to write all these numbers to
a file, each on its own line. What I do now is create an NSMutableArray
to hold all the numbers, and then [numArray writeToFile:
numFileLocation atomically:YES]. This works... it creates the file and
the data is in there, but I (and my users!) would rather have just a
plain text file with one number on each line instead of this XML file.
I did some research and found a lot of stuff about NSFileHandle,
NSFileManager and NSData but I couldn't figure out the best way to do
this. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
