I saw this post on the list previously.

However I am still unable to write to a file... I have tried everything...
Here is my code for my main.m file. What am I missing?

I am running a Mac OS X 10.4.11 and editing with Xcode 2.2.1

HERE IS MY CODE FOR main.m:

#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

/* Define what file to write to on local hard drive...  */
        NSString *fname="/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/htdocs/data/data.txt";

/* CREAT EMPTY FILE? */
        [@"" writeToFile:fname atomically:NO];

        NSFileHandle *fh=[NSFileHandle fileHandleForWritingAtPath:fname];

/* WRITE DATA TO FILE: THIS IS A TEST */
        [fh writeData:"THIS IS A TEST"];
        [fh closeFile];


    return NSApplicationMain(argc,  (const char **) argv);
} 


/* end main.m */

Do you insist on this workflow?

In a vast majority of cases you just write the complete file atomically, like

NSData *d=... the contents of file computed somehow ...
[d writeToFile:FILENAME atomically:YES];

Nevertheless, you can use NSFileHandle

NSString *fname=...;
[@"" writeToFile:fname atomically:NO]; // create the empty file
NSFileHandle *fh=[NSFileHandle fileHandleForWritingAtPath:fname];
...
[fh writeData:... partial contents of file computed somehow ...]; // as many 
times as you want to
...
[fh closeFile];
