This is how it's usually done: In a .m, .c or .cpp file, NSString* const constEntityNameLog = @"Log_entity" ; and if you need to use this constant in other files, add, in the counterpart header file, extern NSString* const constEntityNameLog ; _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
