Devon, thanks for your response. However, your suggestion still does not make the code work. No data is written to the file.

I have tried just about everything and can get nothing to work? has anyone on this list ever had success in writing to a local file, and if so can you show me the code you used?

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 */ ############################################# Subject: Re: creating files to write data to?

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 ...
