Hi all,

My document-based application on Mac OS X reads ASCII data file to draw graphs 
based on date/time and y-values.

It reads the file contents by overriding readFromURL:ofType:error:
...
NSString *fileContents = [[NSString alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:absoluteURL
                                                      
encoding:NSISOLatin1StringEncoding
                                                         error:outError];
….

It works and if a user opens multiple files there are of course separate files 
document windows, but I would prefer only one window:

I want to combine the selected multiple ASCII files from my app's Open Panel  
*without creating different windows*
but only one window so that we get just one big file to draw.
Of course an NSMutableArray is needed to add the different NSString then 
combine them etc.

So my question is:

Is it possible to combine multiple file contents for an NSDocument based app 
and if yes which method should I override, 
or is there an NSApplication method to override ?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Gilles
