Hi Stephen and all, >> Can anyone explain what I am doing wrong because as far as I can see this should be valid?

Ignoring the warning, I see: > 1) That is not the proper way to find the user's documents folder. <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/> LowLevelFileMgmt/Tasks/LocatingDirectories.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001279> ** I did not know this, thank you for pointing it out. > 2) You leak an NSString with the output variable. > 3) You can't use a "char*" to store the result from encoding with NSUnicodeStringEncoding > 4) You can't use strlen() with Unicode characters. > 5) "%C" is not the correct format specifier for an ASCII character. > 6) That is not the correct way to combine paths. > I think you need to stop coding and get some good documents on Unicode and possibly Cocoa memory management. After digging deeper, I found that I was indeed encoding wrong and I did not need to do a lot of the code I posted. Thank yo for pointing out these so that I did indeed get some clarity. Items 2 and 3 helped the most. What resources do you recommend? I am not against learning.....<grin>. But one note, you mentioned stopping coding...if I did that, I would not have dug to solve the problem...Is there not something to be said for those that ³try and try again² until they get it right or maybe ³Practice makes perfect²? -Jason _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
