Uhm for how long do you want the data to be stored? If you need it for a longer time use a simple textfile otherwise use global variables.

I'd recommend using NSUserDefaults.


First, to get the text from a textview:

make sure to create an IBOutlet of the TextView and link it in IB.
In my case, I called it myTextView.

    NSString *returnedTextFromTextView;
    myTextView.text = returnedTextFromTextView;
    NSLog(returnedTextFromTextView);

To save the returned text:

NSUserDefaults *userDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[userDefaults setObject:returnedTextFromTextView forKey:@"TextView"];

and to get it:

NSUserDefaults *userDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSString *myTextView = [userDefaults objectForKey:@"TextView"];

Thanks for posting this code!

Does this code save the text automatically as the user types? And does it save the text automatically upon termination of the app? If not, how would you recommend I do these actions.

Thanks in advance.
