Does anyone know if there's a Cocoa mechanism for obtaining a string from a
.strings format file at an arbitrary location, which may not be in a bundle,
short of reading in the file data and parsing it myself? I haven't been
able to find anything like this in my searching.
I was just reading the thread before your post, "Tip for Cocoa
newbies (and pros)," and, using a program suggested there, AppKiDo,
for the very first time, typed "strings" into the Find box, clicked
"Include methods" and instantly found this:
NSSring: - (NSDictionary *)propertyListFromStringsFileFormat
Returns a dictionary object initialized with the keys and values
found in the receiver. The receiver must contain text in the format
used for .strings files.
Elapsed time: 20 seconds, tops.
Sounds like the answer to your question. You just need to read the
file into an NSString, then apply that method. And, I can recommend
AppKiDo.
