Thanks for the plutil tip Brian.
It's not supposed to be an old style dictionary - it's just a
strings file, and I have the whole thing in English and Spanish -
the English one loads fine, and the Spanish one doesn't.
Unfortunately seeing as plutil thinks it's supposed to be an old
style
I have filed a report on this. The problem originally exhibited itself in a
strings file that was used for localization, and the error report gave no
indication which file it was that had the problem, so I included that in the
bug report too.

Hi, I'm trying to use NSDictionary's dictionaryWithContentsOfFile: method and
am getting an error: CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): Old-style plist parser:
missing semicolon in dictionary.
The entire file is of the format:
/*some comment */
Some string = Some other string;
Clearly there is
For validation, try plutil -lint yourFile.plist in the Terminal. Also, use
curly braces for dictionaries in old-style ASCII plists.

strings files are not true dictionary files in the sense of NS or CF
dictionaries, so you can't treat them like an xml file (plist)
you can parse them line by line, manually, if you want to read them in. unless
there's another way i don't know about.

I tried that before suggesting it; plutil just uses the same plist
parser that
+ (id)dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:(NSString *)path
Parameters
path
A full or relative pathname. The file identified by path must contain a string
representation of a property list whose root object is a dictionary.

Clearly there is some formatting error in the file but it is a rather large
file and would take a very long time to manually go through and find the
issue - is there some tool available that will tell me where to look in
Thanks for the suggestions guys - I have found the issues by a binary search
process (there were some quotes in the wrong places). I'll keep those ideas in
my bag of tricks for if I encounter something similar again.
