Objective-C / Can't access (read) file in "Resources" folder - objective-c

Question

This is probably a very easy problem to solve but i have not succeeded. I have copied the file "questions_famquiz_easy_110326.txt" to the resources folder and now want to access (read) it and NSLog it to see that i am able to read it.
The code below is from one of the tests i have done based on examples that i have found on the web.
I am trying to access a txt-file in the Resources folder and fail to do so. I have searched for a solution, tested a lot, but not succeeded.
I am testing with the following code:
NSLog(#"\n \n >>>>>>viewDidLoad<<<<<<<<<");
NSError *error;
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSString *docsDirectory = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *filePath = [docsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"questions_famquiz_easy_110326.txt"];
if(![fileManager fileExistsAtPath:filePath])
{
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:[[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingString:#"/questions_famquiz_easy_110326.txt"]];
[data writeToFile:filePath atomically:YES];
}
NSString *myString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:filePath encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:&error];
NSLog(#"myString: %#", myString);
NSLog(#"\n \n>>>>>>DONE WITH viewDidLoad<<<<<<<<<");
exit(0); //====EXIT JUST FOR THE TEST====<<<
The above code is located in the first viewController that is started.
The output i get is:
>>>>>>viewDidLoad<<<<<<<<<
2011-04-24 21:53:47.825 FamQuiz_R0_1[542:307] myString: (null)
2011-04-24 21:53:51.044 FamQuiz_R0_1[542:307]
>>>>>>DONE WITH viewDidLoad<<<<<<<<<
Could someone nice help me to solve this?
update:
Here is the filePath:
2011-04-24 22:38:08.562 FamQuiz_R0_1[637:307] filePath: /var/mobile/Applications/7F5FDB03-0D22-46BC-91BC-4D268EB4BBEB/FamQuiz_R0_1.app/questions_famquiz_easy_110326.txt
Here is where i have placed the file:
PROBLEM SOLVED:
NSString *myString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:filePath encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:&error];
When i used the above it did not work, when i used the below it worked and printed out the text.
NSString *myString = [[NSString alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:filePath];

You're not reading from the resources folder. You're trying to read from the document directory. So getting back nil makes sense since the file doesn't exist there.
Change:
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSString *docsDirectory = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *filePath = [docsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"questions_famquiz_easy_110326.txt"];
to:
NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"questions_famquiz_easy_110326" ofType:#"txt"];
and it should work for you.
