objective c - Xcode - Most Streamlined way of saving a lot of integers to a file -

i saving 30 integers file creating nsmutabledictionary , using nskeyedarchiver save it.

@interface: nsinteger highscoree; nsinteger highscorem; nsinteger highscoreh; nsinteger highscorei;  nsinteger highscorecome; nsinteger highscorecomm; nsinteger highscorecomh; nsinteger highscorecomi;  nsinteger totalgameswone; nsinteger totalgameswonm; nsinteger totalgameswonh; nsinteger totalgameswoni;  nsinteger totalgamesloste; nsinteger totalgameslostm; nsinteger totalgameslosth; nsinteger totalgameslosti;  nsinteger totalpointsfore; nsinteger totalpointsform; nsinteger totalpointsforh; nsinteger totalpointsfori;  nsinteger totalpointsagainste; nsinteger totalpointsagainstm; nsinteger totalpointsagainsth; nsinteger totalpointsagainsti;  nsinteger highscore; nsinteger highscorecom; nsinteger totalgames; nsinteger totalgameswon; nsinteger totalgameslost; nsinteger totalpointsfor; nsinteger totalpointsagainst;  @property(nonatomic) nsinteger highscoree; @property(nonatomic) nsinteger highscorem; @property(nonatomic) nsinteger highscoreh; @property(nonatomic) nsinteger highscorei;  @property(nonatomic) nsinteger highscorecome; @property(nonatomic) nsinteger highscorecomm; @property(nonatomic) nsinteger highscorecomh; @property(nonatomic) nsinteger highscorecomi;  @property(nonatomic) nsinteger totalgameswone; @property(nonatomic) nsinteger totalgameswonm; @property(nonatomic) nsinteger totalgameswonh; @property(nonatomic) nsinteger totalgameswoni;  @property(nonatomic) nsinteger totalgamesloste; @property(nonatomic) nsinteger totalgameslostm; @property(nonatomic) nsinteger totalgameslosth; @property(nonatomic) nsinteger totalgameslosti;  @property(nonatomic) nsinteger totalpointsfore; @property(nonatomic) nsinteger totalpointsform; @property(nonatomic) nsinteger totalpointsforh; @property(nonatomic) nsinteger totalpointsfori;  @property(nonatomic) nsinteger totalpointsagainste; @property(nonatomic) nsinteger totalpointsagainstm; @property(nonatomic) nsinteger totalpointsagainsth; @property(nonatomic) nsinteger totalpointsagainsti;  @property(nonatomic) nsinteger highscore; @property(nonatomic) nsinteger highscorecom; @property(nonatomic) nsinteger totalgames; @property(nonatomic) nsinteger totalgameswon; @property(nonatomic) nsinteger totalgameslost; @property(nonatomic) nsinteger totalpointsfor; @property(nonatomic) nsinteger totalpointsagainst;   @implementation;  nsstring *nsstotalpointsfor = [nsstring stringwithformat:@"%i", totalpointsfor]; nsstring *nsstotalpointsfore = [nsstring stringwithformat:@"%i", totalpointsfore]; nsstring *nsstotalpointsform = [nsstring stringwithformat:@"%i", totalpointsform]; nsstring *nsstotalpointsforh = [nsstring stringwithformat:@"%i", totalpointsforh]; nsstring *nsstotalpointsfori = [nsstring stringwithformat:@"%i", totalpointsfori]; //create dictionary nsmutabledictionary* mydict = [[nsmutabledictionary alloc] init];  //add things dictionary (game stats) [mydict setobject:nsstotalpointsfor forkey:@"totalpointsfor"]; [mydict setobject:nsstotalpointsfore forkey:@"totalpointsfore"]; [mydict setobject:nsstotalpointsform forkey:@"totalpointsform"]; [mydict setobject:nsstotalpointsforh forkey:@"totalpointsforh"]; [mydict setobject:nsstotalpointsfori forkey:@"totalpointsfori"];  //get path nsarray *paths = nssearchpathfordirectoriesindomains(nsdocumentdirectory, nsuserdomainmask, yes); nsstring *documentpath = [paths objectatindex:0]; nsstring *path = [documentpath stringbyappendingpathcomponent:@"stats.save"];  // save file [nskeyedarchiver archiverootobject:mydict tofile:path]; 

and other integers.

then have read these strings integers:

//get path nsarray *paths = nssearchpathfordirectoriesindomains(nsdocumentdirectory, nsuserdomainmask, yes); nsstring *documentpath = [paths objectatindex:0]; nsstring *path = [documentpath stringbyappendingpathcomponent:@"stats.save"];     //create dictionary nsmutabledictionary* mydict = [[nsmutabledictionary alloc] init];  //read file mydict = [nskeyedunarchiver unarchiveobjectwithfile:path]; nsstring *nssplayerhighscore = [mydict objectforkey:@"playerhighscore"]; highscore = [nssplayerhighscore intvalue];  nsstring *nsscomputerhighscore = [mydict objectforkey:@"computerhighscore"]; highscorecom = [nsscomputerhighscore intvalue];  nsstring *nsstotalpointsfor = [mydict objectforkey:@"totalpointsfor"]; totalpointsfor = [nsstotalpointsfor intvalue];  nsstring *nsstotalpointsagainst = [mydict objectforkey:@"totalpointsagainst"]; totalpointsagainst = [nsstotalpointsagainst intvalue];  nsstring *nsstotalgames = [mydict objectforkey:@"totalgames"]; totalgames = [nsstotalgames intvalue];  nsstring *nsstotalgameswon = [mydict objectforkey:@"totalgameswon"]; totalgameswon = [nsstotalgameswon intvalue];  nsstring *nsstotalgameslost = [mydict objectforkey:@"totalgameslost"]; totalgameslost = [nsstotalgameslost intvalue];  nsstring *nssplayerhighscoree = [mydict objectforkey:@"playerhighscoree"];  highscoree = [nssplayerhighscoree intvalue];  nsstring *nsscomputerhighscoree = [mydict objectforkey:@"computerhighscoree"]; highscorecome = [nsscomputerhighscoree intvalue]; 

and on other integers well.

i find way extremely cumbersome , annoying don't know other ways save integers.

what streamlined way of saving things in general?

i don't know if nskeyedarchiver problem or should making strings contain more 1 integer (eg.nsstring *nsstotalpointsfor = [nsstring stringwithformat:@"%i, %i, ...", totalpointsfor, totalpointsagainst, ...];.

but how change numbers in string integers?

or use array somehow?

give me idea , open many suggestions.

thx lot don't know programing.

storing these numbers "nsstring" objects , archiving them big block of code indeed seem cumbersome.

why not "nsnumber" objects, have archiving capability built in? throw "nsnumber" objects array (e.g. "highscoreenumber = [[nsnumber alloc] initwithint: highscoree];") , write file , load file on subsequent launches.

edit:

i can't port of code you, check out:

@interface: {     nsnumber * highscore;     nsnumber * highscorecom; }  @property(nonatomic, retain) nsnumber * highscore; @property(nonatomic, retain) nsnumber * highscorecom;  @implementation;  //create dictionary nsmutabledictionary* mydict = [[nsmutabledictionary alloc] init];  if(mydict) {     //add things dictionary (game stats)     [mydict setobject:highscore forkey:@"highscore"];     [mydict setobject:highscorecom forkey:@"highscorecom"];      //get path     nsarray *paths = nssearchpathfordirectoriesindomains(nsdocumentdirectory, nsuserdomainmask, yes);     nsstring *documentpath = [paths objectatindex:0];     nsstring *path = [documentpath stringbyappendingpathcomponent:@"stats.save"];      bool successfulwrite = [mydict writetofile: path atomically: yes];     if(successfulwrite == no)     {         nslog( @"could not write file path %@", path );     }     // if *not* using arc, don't forget release     [mydict release]; }
