plist

Hi,

I am downloading a PLIST file from my server using NSURLDownload. Once it is downloaded, I read the file using NSDictionary's dictionaryWithContentsOfFile: method. I need to read a BOOL value, so this is my code:

if ([dict objectForKey:string] == [NSNumber numberWithBool:YES])

This however always returns NO, no matter what the value is. The same happens if I replace the == with isEqual:.

Am I doing this wrong?

Hi I'm trying to write an NSDictionary to a plist but when I open the plist no data has been written to it. From the log my path looks correct and my code is pretty standard. Any ideas?

Objective-C : BOOL vs bool

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
Hi, I'm new to objective-c and I saw the "new type" BOOL (YES, NO). I read that this type is almost like a char. For testing I did : NSLog(@"Size of BOOL %d", sizeof(BOOL)); NSLog(@"Size of bool %d", sizeof(bool)); Good to see both display 1 (sometimes in C++ bool just an int and sizeof is 4) So… >>> More
