Try:
[myString writeToFile:fileName atomically:YES];
You may need to split/recombine the string, depending on the delimiter. For
example, if it's "1, 2, 3, 4, 5" and you want "1\n2\n3\n4\n5", call:
myString = [[myString componentsSeparatedByString:@", "]
componentsJoinedByString:@"\n"];
And then write it, as above.
