Hi

I am quite new to Objective C for the iPhone, so I hope you wont kill me for asking a simple question.

I have made an App that works fine, except that Instruments reports memory leaks from the class below. I use it to store settings from one class and then retrieve them from another class. These settings are stored on a file so they can be retrieved every time the App is ran.

What can I do do release the "setting" and is there anything that can be done to call (use) the class in a smarter way?

Thanks

----- Below is Settings.m -----

import "Settings.h"

@implementation Settings

@synthesize settings;

-(NSString *)dataFilePath // Return path for settingfile, including filename { NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES); NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];

return [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:kUserSettingsFileName];

}

-(NSMutableArray *)getParameters // Return settings from disk after checking if file exist (if not create with default values) { NSString *filePath = [self dataFilePath];

if ([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:filePath]) // Getting data from file
{
    settings = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:filePath];
}

else // Creating default settings

{   
    settings = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:
                    [NSNumber numberWithInteger:50],        
                    [NSNumber numberWithInteger:50],        
                    nil];

    [settings writeToFile:[self dataFilePath] atomically:YES];

}
return settings;

}

----- Below is my other class from where I call my Settings class -----

// Get settings from file
Settings *aSetting = [[Settings alloc] init];

mySettings = [aSetting getParameters];
[aSetting release];
