You should check out NSFileManager to see if you can simplify your read methods - specifically the contentsAtPath: method. Then decode the data from the file using the appropriate encoding. Once you've figured out what the URI for the file is, you can use NSFileManager again to fetch it, using an NSUrl.
It sounds like you might have an easier time using a plist. Cocoa has good support for parsing and simplifying access using NSDictionary.
