iOS Strange Things: UITextView Save To Plist

JoshAK · Mar 9, 2009

When I am saving data form a UITextView to a plist the data is saved except the last letter typed into the UITextView. I'm using:

Code:

NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc} init];
[array addObject:objectname];
[array addObject:objectname2];
[array addObject:objectname3];
//ect
[array writeToFile:[self noteFile1] atomically:YES];
[aaray release];

Everything is saved except the last charter in the text field. Is the a bug or does someone else know the reason?

Thanks,

Josh

Have you checked the content of the array to ensure that all characters are being passed into it in the first place?

Also, I assume this typo isn't in the actual code:

Code:

[[NSMutableArray alloc} init];

Yes that is a typo. What is the best way to check the content of the array?

Set a breakpoint and then examine the array in the Debugger.

Would you use an NSLog()?

That's do-able. But there's nothing like stopping the code at a particular point and examining the stack trace, variable values, etc. The Debugger is a powerful tool built into Xcode. Take advantage of it.
