NSPropertyListSerialization is actually a class, but yes. That said, I
doubt it alone is what you're looking for. It might be one piece.
I was sort of hoping that there was some easier save and load method
that I could use that would take my array and just save it to a text
file in ASCII or something that I could just as easily import to
excel. And then import back into my Cocoa app.
I understand what your goal is, but I'd have to know more about what
Excel wants to answer it more thoroughly. The fact that two apps "read"
XML doesn't necessarily mean anything. Unless you write data using
Excel's DTDs, it's a moot point.
Your best bet here is to research Excel's needs before tackling the
Cocoa side. You might also be able to do it with CSV or something.
Here's a thread that would probably interest you:
