Deserialize the plist into an NSArray object. Provide the values from the NSArray to an NSTableView using a data source, or bind the table view to an NSArrayController that's bound to the array. > It seems that the plist has to be translated to XML data and every byte read > into an array. Huh? Read the Property List Programming Guide again: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/PropertyLists/PropertyLists.html > How does one then select just certain members where the plist contains an > array under a key? Loop through the array that results from deserialization and choose only the entries you want. Alternatively, use an NSPredicate. > I am trying to get this list into a tableview but not sure how to populate > the data. NSTableView has a -setDataSource: method that takes an object which conforms to the NSTableViewDataSource protocol. Or you can use bindings (not recommended for a beginner). --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
