My code is like this: NSMutableString *theSettings; theSettings = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
//myPrefs is an array of strings, each item is like "Library/Safari" int i; for (i = 0; i < 8; i++ { theSettings = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:[myPrefs objectAtIndex:i]]; .... } Thinking about it, do I need the alloc and init commands? Sometimes I am unsure about what needs alloc or init versus what I can just declare as a variable without doing that. Thanks for your help!
