In this case you probably want something like this:

// Override super designated initializer
- (id)init
{
	return [self initWithData:defaultData];
}

- (id)initWithContentsOfFile:(NSString *)filename
{
	return [self initWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:filename]];
}

// The designated initializer
- (id)initWithData:(NSData *)data
{
	self = [super init];
	if (self != nil) {
		// do something with data
	}
	return self;
}

You can easily extend this with other init methods as needed. e.g initWithContentsOfURL. And you don't need to confuse yourself and others :-)

Greetings.

Another one,

when i create a class,
I override the init like this,...

- (id) init{
		if ((self = [super init])) {// superclass may return nil
			// do init code here.
		}
		return self;
}

but what if i want to init with a file's content,

I still want to call the init method, for my normal init code to run.
so would this be a good way of doing it ?
of am i over/miss doing it again ....

- (id) initWithFile:(NSString *) path{
		if ((self = [self init])) {
			[self loadFile:path];
		}
		return self;
}

again thank you and please forgive, if my questions seem very beginner type :)
