Update file using OBjective C

[Khanjan]

Hey all,

I am building an interface for running some perl scripts. I want to display a file on the hard drive in the interface and update it on mouse click. I am able to display the file, however, I am not able to update it. I am new to Objective C. Can anyone please help me on how to update a file using Objective C ?

Thanks,
Khanjan

You might need to be more specific. There are methods to grab a file with an NSData wrapper, or get a text file using NSString:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSData_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/clm/NSData/dataWithContentsOfFile:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSString_Class/Reference/NSString.html#//apple_ref/occ/clm/NSString/stringWithContentsOfFile:encoding:error:

And corresponding methods to write the contents of an NSData object or NSString to a file:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSData_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/instm/NSData/writeToFile:atomically:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSString_Class/Reference/NSString.html#//apple_ref/occ/instm/NSString/writeToFile:atomically:encoding:error:

Does this help?
