Can not find my filepath document after saving:

[schem001]

I saving some data I collected using plist: info.plist

My questions is after saving all data, I want to retrieve it and see it (I have done it before using Organizer), but now the document does not even exist under app in organizer.

The filepath is outputted via debugger shows that the document path is created, but how can I find it???

Here is my result of debugger:

run

I try to find that path in organizer under app, but just can not. Maybe sth has to do with bundle identifier, not sure though.

and here is my code for saving data:

		NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);   
		NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];   
		NSString *filepath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"data.txt"];  
		
		NSLog(filepath);
		
		// create a blank file, overwrite, if exists
		[[NSFileManager defaultManager] createFileAtPath:filepath contents:[NSData data] attributes:nil];
		
		// get a handle to the file
		NSFileHandle *fileHandle = [NSFileHandle fileHandleForWritingAtPath:filepath];
		
		
		line = [NSString stringWithFormat:@" X Axis     Y Axis     Z Axis\n", nil];
		//			NSLog(@"Display x, y, z is: %f, %f, %f",  records[i][0], records[i][1], records[i][2]);			
		lineAsData = [line dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
		[fileHandle writeData:lineAsData];		

[fileHandle closeFile];

If you guys have any suggestions or ideas, that would be appreciated and grateful.

Thank you

Your NSLog output and code don't quite match up.

What is the return value from createFileAtPath? Also, what about the return value from fileHandleForWritingAtPath? (I would suspect it is nil.)

Also, I'd try skipping the two step method of creating/writing and just call the NSData instance method writeToFile:atomically: from your NSString's data, since you're not doing anything like appending to existing file contents.

Thanks for the reply.

What do you mean they do not match up? I just did my NSLOG to see where the file is stored, which shows that it is under /var/mobile/....... but i just cant find it.

Concerning creating/writing, shouldn't i be getting at least an empty output file even without including that, I mean by just doing:

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);   
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];   
NSString *filepath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"data.txt"];

I tried just that and still didnt output a file for me.

Any suggestions anybody. Txs
