Could someone show me some example code that does the following -

Opens a text file for reading.
Reads 68 lines and puts each line into an array element.
Closes the file.

The text file would just be a list of filenames, say no more than 40 chars to a
line.

I've got the Hillegass book, so I'll be starting from scratch on that but from a
quick look at the contents page it doesn't cover file handling, at least not as
a self contained section.

You will need the following methods:
+[NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:]
-[NSString componentsSeparatedByString:]

Ah, now they look very interesting. Thanks.
