I need to get text from text files and put it in a non-editable NSTextView. How can I accomplish this?

  • @lailo: There's no reason to load the text file line by line as the SO question you linked details. – Joshua Nozzi Oct 28 '11 at 00:00

  1. Load the file into an NSString.
  2. Set the NSTextView's string to the loaded string (hint: NSTextView is a subclass of NSText).
  3. Ship BetterTextEditor.app and profit.

Prerequisite: Look up the needed methods in the two API reference documents I linked in the steps above.
