Swift read txt file

Drag a txt file in to project.

Declare a textView name gi. Copy in to viewDidLoad.

let path = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("t1", ofType: "txt")!

        var read : String = ""

      do {

        try read = NSString(contentsOfFile: path, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding) as String

gi.text = read

gi.font = UIFont.italicSystemFontOfSize(17)

gi.textColor = UIColor.blueColor()

gi.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.Center

           

        }

        catch let error as NSError {

            // print("ERROR : reading from file \(fileName) : \(error.localizedDescription)")

        }

If you put txt inside a folder, for example, raw folder, let change "t1" near pathForResource to "raw/t1"

If want to read file to lines and add to an array, use this code.

do {

            try read = NSString(contentsOfFile: path, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding) as String

            var ar = read.componentsSeparatedByString("\n")

            let t=ar[2]

          

            gi.text = t

            gi.font = UIFont.italicSystemFontOfSize(17)

            gi.textColor = UIColor.blueColor()

            gi.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.Center

           

        }

        catch let error as NSError {

            // print("ERROR : reading from file \(fileName) : \(error.localizedDescription)")

        }

We read to an array and set row 3 to textView.
