Method to get a value from plist

Question

I have a integer called NumberX and a plist called PlistX.

Example

int NumberX;

PlistX:

I was wondering how I'd make NumberX = value of Three

Answer 1

Try this:

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"PlistX" ofType:@"plist"];
NSDictionary *dict = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:path];
int number = [[[[dict objectForKey:@"One"] objectForKey:@"Two"]objectForKey:@"Three"] intValue];
NSLog(@"%d",number);    

Answer 2

1) Get data (i.e. NSMutableDictionary *) from plist saved to disk:

NSMutableDictionary *dictionary =  [NSPropertyListSerialization propertyListFromData:data mutabilityOption:NSPropertyListMutableContainers format:NULL errorDescription:&error];

2) Retrieve needed object from dictionary.

//in your case
NSNumber *tmpNumber = [[[dictionary objectForKey:@"One"] objectForKey:@"Two"] objectForKey:@"Three"];
// convert to int
int NumberX = [tmpNumber intValue];
