Hi all,

I'm trying to use an NSTableView for the first time. I've got a four- column table view set up in IB, and class files for the dataSource as follows:

// snipped

.m:
@implementation FetchHighscores

- (IBAction)fetchResults:(id)sender
{
finalData = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:4]; // To prevent it being (null) NSString *string = @"1,1,1 2,2,2 3,3,3 4,5,6 7,3,4" // etc. Loaded from an external source.
        NSArray *components = [results componentsSeparatedByString:@"\n"];
NSArray *template = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Col1", @"Col2", @"Col3", @"Col4", nil];
        int loops = [components count];
        int loop;
        for (loop = 0; loop < loops; loop++)
        {
                currentData = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:4];
                [currentData addObject:@"0"];
[currentData addObjectsFromArray:[[scores objectAtIndex:loop] componentsSeparatedByString:@","]]; while ([currentData count] < 4) // External source isn't entirely consistent. This is just a placeholder.
                {
                        [currentData addObject:@"0"];
                }
NSDictionary *dict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:currentData forKeys:template];
                [finalScores insertObject:dict atIndex:loop];
        }
        [theTable reloadData];
}


// snipped

I'm getting strange errors. In the console, I get:
*** -[NSRectSet objectAtIndex:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x1516c220

But sometimes I get a different error: the NSParameterAssert isn't satisfied.

What needs changing?

Thanks.

Greetings, Benjamin,

This one looks fairly easy to solve to me; when you get random errors involving classes that you're not using, it's often a memory problem. In this case, you are not retaining finalData in the -fetchResults: -- so finalData is in fact *still* null, as you're initializing it with a method that returns an autoreleased array. Try this instead:

finalData = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:4]; // To prevent it being (null)

Be sure to release it somewhere, typically -dealloc.

Also, if you're using Garbage Collection, this may not hold -- but I suspect from the situation that you aren't.

Cheers,
        Andrew
