After searching the docs and the list archive, I haven't been able
to find out how to append data (text in my case) to a file. I'm
making a fairly simple game and want to allow users to keep a
record of their scores. This is my workaround:
// write new data to 'scores' file
NSString *theNewScore = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d\n", aInt];
NSError *err;
NSString *fileContents = [NSString
stringWithContentsOfFile:pathToFile];
NSString *newFileContents = [fileContents
stringByAppendingString:theNewScore];
[newFileContents writeToFile:pathToFile atomically:YES
encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding error:&err];
but is there a way I can simply append the text without first
reading the whole file into a NSString variable and then using
stringByAppendingString?
You might also want to have a look at NSUserDefaults. If its only a
little data, like a list of highest scores, it would certainly do
just fine - and you wouldn't have to deal with any file management at
all.
