I am wanting to create an NSArray from strings stored (at various

I am trying the following code, but it only reads the key from the
root dictionary: (FolderPath, and PlistFullName, have been
previously defined)
Code:
NSString *plistFolder = [FolderPath stringByExpandingTildeInPath];
NSString *PlistPath = [plistFolder
stringByAppendingPathComponent:PlistFullName];
NSDictionary *myDictionary = [NSDictionary
dictionaryWithContentsOfFile: PlistPath];
NSArray *myArray = [myDictionary objectForKey:@"myKey"];
where do I begin?
Is there just one file involved? If not, you can use NSFileManager
methods to traverse the relevant directory structure as an "outer" loop.
For building the array, you can simply traverse the nested dictionary
structures recursively. Move the traversal code into a separate
method. In that method, use 'isKindOfClass:' to determine whether each
object is a string or a dictionary. If the former, add the string to
your array. If the latter, call your traversal method recursively for
the sub-dictionary.
Is that what you're asking?
