Which brings me to another questions, how to deep copy a network without saving it to disk?
One thing about making it NSCoding Compliant is that all my objects now support NSCopying too, e.g. define a copyWithZone method, so in order to deep copy one of my root arrays/dictionaries. can I just do this? myDestNetwork.pArray1 = [mySourceNetwork copy]; Or do I need to use the initWithArray:xxxx copyItems:YES and initWithDictionary:xxxx copyItems:YES methods? If I need to use the init methods, then how can I tell which method (deep or shallow) to use? When I’m saving/restoring I want a shallow copy, but I then want to clone this network into a working copy. The working copy gets updated which the App is running and at certain points dumped to file. This file will then be used to update the database and a new prototype file generated for use by the App. I’ve done a couple of searching and there are a lot of conflicting answers…….. Basically I need to clone off sub-networks from the main network, update them and at some point save them to disk. Thanks for the help.
