I have a data source with about 2000 lines that look like the following:
6712,Anaktuvuk Pass Airport,Anaktuvuk Pass,United States,AKP,PAKP,68.1336,-151.743,2103,-9,A
What I am interested in is the 6th section of this string so I want to turn it into an array, then i want to check the 6th section [5] for an occurrance of that string "PAKP"
Code:
NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
NSString *airportsPath = [bundle pathForResource:@"airports" ofType:@"dat"];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:airportsPath];
NSString *dataString = [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] autorelease];
NSArray *dataArray = [dataString componentsSeparatedByString:@"\n"];
NSRange locationOfAirport;
NSString *workingString = [[NSString alloc]initWithFormat:@""];
NSString *searchedAirport = [[NSString alloc]initWithFormat:@""];
NSString *airportData = [[NSString alloc]initWithFormat:@""];
int d;
for (d=0; d < [dataArray count]; d=d+1) {
workingString = [dataArray objectAtIndex:d];
testTextBox = workingString; //works correctly
NSArray *workingArray = [workingString componentsSeparatedByString:@","];
testTextBox2 = [workingArray objectAtIndex: 0]; //correctly displays the first section "6712"
testTextBox3 = [workingArray objectAtIndex:1] //throws exception index beyond bounds
locationOfAirport = [[workingArray objectAtIndex:5] rangeOfString:@"PAKP"];
}
the problem is that when the workingArray populates, it only populates with a single object (the first component of the string which is "6712". If i have it display the workingString, it correctly displays the entire string, but for some reason, it isn't correctly making the array using the commas.
i tried it without using the data file and it worked fine, so the problem comes from how I am importing the data.
ideas?
