Swift save the text of UITextView in file with attributes

Question

I want to save in a file the text of UITextView with attributes (as Font, Color..).

I used the method:

pathtext = "...\nameFile.txt"
textView.text.writeToFile(pathtext, atomically: false, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)

But it save only the text without attributes.

Which extension of the file should I use? If this isn't possibile, how can I save the text in other way?

Thanks for helping me.

Do you want to save formatted text (fonts, colors etc) in a .txt file? Text files only support raw text, without styles. — rodskagg, Dec 08 '15 at 14:54
No, i know that the extension 'txt' is wrong. But i don't know how i can save the text. — Oxygen, Dec 08 '15 at 14:55

Try using :

textView.attributedText

to retreive the text content with its formatting attributes.
