Hi Folks,

I think I am missing something really basic here with NSString.  I am trying to 
store the path of a user-selected file (from an NSOpenPanel) internally so 
other routines can act on the data within the file.  Here's the relevant 
section of code:

    if ([oPanel runModalForDirectory:nil file:nil types:nil] == NSOKButton)
    {
        NSArray * files = [oPanel filenames];

        /* Process files */

        for( i = 0; i < [files count]; i++ )
        {
            [rawFileName initWithString: [[files objectAtIndex:i] 
stringByStandardizingPath]];
            NSLog(@"Logging the file name variable");
            NSLog(rawFileName);

            NSLog(@"Logging the called file path object directly");
            NSLog([[files objectAtIndex:i] stringByStandardizingPath]);
        }
    }

and this is the output from that section of code:

2009-05-26 09:18:41.931 REMI[19710:807] Logging the file name variable
2009-05-26 09:18:41.932 REMI[19710:807] Logging the called file path object 
directly
2009-05-26 09:18:41.932 REMI[19710:807] 
/Users/vinai/Desktop/rawTestData/P04608.7

rawFileName is declared to be an NSString * in my object's header file. So why 
does printing out the string returned by the stringByStandardizingPath function 
work okay, but not when initializing an NSString * variable with it ?  What 
would I need to rawFileName so it can be used by other methods in my object ?

Thanks much all.

vinai
