hi this is helpful, but I'm stuck in a spot. I get a sigbus 10 error
when I try to load the bundlePath. I put all this in the main.m
file..Since it's a fairly simple program I didn't create a class to
load the plist data.
---
code: main.m
---
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
NSMutableArray * lines;
NSBundle *mainBundle;
NSString *plistPath;
NSString *bundPath;
NSString *nameWithoutSuffix;
NSDictionary *allPhrasesDict;
NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
nameWithoutSuffix = @"Phrases";
NSLog ( @"Made namewithoutsuffix");
bundPath = [mainBundle bundlePath];
NSLog ( @"got bundlepath");
plistPath = [NSString
stringWithFormat:@"%@/Contents/Resources/%@.plist", bundPath,
nameWithoutSuffix];
NSLog ( @"generated plist path");
allPhrasesDict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]
initWithContentsOfFile:plistPath];
NSLog ( @"Phrases are made of this\n%@", [allPhrasesDict
description] );
[pool release];
return 0;
} //main.m
---
output:
---
2003-06-07 16:21:07.692 countrygen[5175] Made namewithoutsuffix
countrygen has exited due to signal 10 (SIGBUS).
---
so it seems to get stuck at this line:
bundPath = [mainBundle bundlePath];
I'm also unsure if this line will display the dictionary with arrays as
values:
NSLog ( @"Phrases are made of this\n%@", [allPhrasesDict
description] );
any ideas?

Here's a method that works for me:
- (NSMutableDictionary*)plistFromBundle:(NSString*)nameWithoutSuffix

NSString* bundlePath = [mBundle bundlePath];
NSString* plistPath = [NSString stringWithFormat:

NSMutableDictionary* plistDictionary = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]

return plistDictionary;
}
If your code has something like:
NSLog ( @"Pharses are made of this\n%@", [[myClass plistFromBundle
</fontfami
ly>:"Phrases"] description] );
you should see it.
I don't where Apple explains that you need "Contents/Resources" in your
path. I discovered it by logging directory lists until I found it.

PB v.2.1, OS X 10.2.6
Hi, I'm making a Foundation tool based on this code I found on the
net.
I've stored snippets of phrases in an XML plist I made in Property
List
Editor.
I added the "Phrases.plist" to my project in PB. A dictionary with
keys
matched to arrays of phrases.
Then I tried accessing the plist, but I get (null) back...Is my code
not properly assigning the NSStrings to the arrays?
here's a portion of my plist, then code...

NSLog(@"phrases 1 = %@", phrases01);
// insert code here...
//NSLog(@"Hello, World!");
[pool release];

the NSLog statement results in:
2003-06-07 12:08:38.700 countrygen[4094] phrases 1 = (null)
countrygen has exited with status 0.
any help would be appreciated..
