txt file for UITableView?

[Naugha]

Hi,
I have a part of my application that requires a very large amount of items in one list. I have been using NSArray and NSDictionary

NSArray *letterAArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"test", @"test", nil];
NSDictionary *letterADict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:letterAArray forKey:@"Items"];

is my current coding. After a while the simulator would launch the app but the screen would be black and nothing would happen. Because i have no errors or warnings, i think i have too many things in the Array. I was wondering is there any way to put a .txt file into the directory and import it instead of the constant @""?

thanks
