Hi all, I am trying to implement autosaving to my NSTextView everytime that a user enters a character i have set up a textDidChange method but I do not know about autosaving. I have looked on the Apple documentation but there is very little on autosaving this is the code I have:

Code: 
- (void)textDidChange:(NSNotification *)notification
{
	[self setString:[textView textStorage]];
	
	[self autosaveDocumentWithDelegate:textView didAutosaveSelector:@selector(dataOfType:textStorage:) contextInfo:nil];
}

Thanks

Stephen

From a look at the docs, the delegate and selector parameters are for when the autosave is complete. So for example:
Code: 
- (void)textDidChange:(NSNotification *)notification
{
    [self setString:[textView textStorage]];
    [self autosaveDocumentWithDelegate:self
        didAutosaveSelector:@selector(document:didAutosave:contextInfo:)
        contextInfo:NULL];
}

- (void)document:(NSDocument *)document
        didAutosave:(BOOL)didAutosaveSuccessfully
        contextInfo:(void *)contextInfo
{
    NSLog(@"Autosave complete.");
}
