Save array in plist

Question

I am trying to save some elements in pList . Here is the array loop:

 for (id obj in items) NSLog(@"obj: %@", obj); 

NSLog Output:

 2013-03-27 13:00:40.072 mycode[47436:c07] obj: Red 2013-03-27 13:00:40.073 mycode[47436:c07] obj: Blue 2013-03-27 13:00:40.073 mycode[47436:c07] obj: Green 

// The arrayWithObjects array works. But I don’t know how to (loop?) Through my objects save to a plist file ...

  NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES); NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0]; NSString *path = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"data.plist"]; NSFileManager *filemgr; filemgr = [NSFileManager defaultManager]; if ([filemgr fileExistsAtPath: path]) { NSLog(@"%@", path); NSMutableDictionary *plist = [[NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:path] mutableCopy]; NSMutableArray *newArray = [[[NSMutableArray alloc] init] autorelease]; newArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Red", @"Green", @"Blue" nil]; // <--- WORKS! newArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:items, nil]; // <-- ? [plist setObject:newArray forKey:@"Hi"]; [plist writeToFile:path atomically:YES]; [plist release]; } else { NSLog(@"File not found"); } [filemgr release];

Perhaps this piece of code will help you.

 NSMutableArray *newArray = [[[NSMutableArray alloc] init] autorelease]; NSMutableArray *targetArray = [[[NSMutableArray alloc] init] autorelease]; newArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Red", @"Green", @"Blue" nil]; for(int i=0;i<newArray.count;i++) { [targetArray addObject:[newArray objectAtIndex:i]]; } [plist setObject:targetArray forKey:@"Hi"]; [plist writeToFile:path atomically:YES]; 

or other method

 NSMutableArray *targetArray = [[[NSMutableArray alloc] init] autorelease]; for (id obj in items) { [targetArray addObject:items]; } [plist setObject:targetArray forKey:@"Hi"]; [plist writeToFile:path atomically:YES]; 

Hope this helps !!!
