Tried that approach too. Problem with using NSString is that when it comes time
to write the line out to the new file, I need an NSData and to create one, I
have to use NSString's getBytes or getCharacters. Those only return unicode
arrays, which, when I go to write to a text file gives me a '?' between each
character. My original file is encoded in MacRoman. There is no way to specify
the encoing for the lines being written out.
It is absolutely mind-boggling that Apple does not provide a simple, easy API
for doing this.

Subject: Re: Reading one line at a time using NSFileHandle
If this is a small file, just create an NSString and iterate over lines.
Here is a simple snippet that count number of lines in a string. You can modify
it for your purpose.
NSString *string;
unsigned numberOfLines, index, stringLength = [string length];
for (index = 0, numberOfLines = 0; index < stringLength; numberOfLines++)
index = NSMaxRange([string lineRangeForRange:NSMakeRange(index, 0)]);
