Hi all,
I am new to Objective-C and Cocoa, but I am learning it for what I thought was
a pretty small project. I need some help with the notification system and the
run loop in Cocoa. The end result is supposed to be a program that constantly
reads and writes data from a serial port to a local file, but baby step here.
It was suggested that I use NSFileHandle class to make my program more thread
safe. This is a quick test I tried to write out. I would change the data in
the text file, and hopefully something will show up on the console:
PS what's a proper way to work between NSData and NSString?
//CODE
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
#import <Foundation/NSFileHandle.h>
#import <Foundation/NSString.h>
#import <Foundation/NSNotificationCenter.h>
#import <stdio.h>
@interface test : NSObject
-(void) writeDataReadInBackground:(NSNotification *)notification;
-(void) testWriteData:(NSData *)data;
@end
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
NSData *aData = [@"Test" dataUsingEncoding: NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSFileHandle *in = [NSFileHandle
fileHandleForReadingAtPath:@"/Users/_me_/test.txt"];
if(in == nil)
printf("somethig wrong\n");
test *t = [[test alloc] init];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver: t
selector:@selector(writeDataReadInBackground:) name:
NSFileHandleDataAvailableNotification object: nil];
[t testWriteData: aData];
[stdIn waitForDataInBackgroundAndNotify];
while(1)
sleep(5);
[t release];
[pool release];
return 0;
}
@implementation test
- (void) writeDataReadInBackground:(NSNotification *)notification {
printf("Notification recieved\n");
}
- (void) testWriteData:(NSData *)data {
NSFileHandle *stdOut = [NSFileHandle fileHandleWithStandardOutput];
[stdOut writeData:data];
}
@end
//END_CODE
Thanks!!
