storing binary file contents in a method?

I have to store entire contents of a binary file into a method so that I can reproduce the file later. Now I do this manually however I remember there is some existing way to do this but I can't recall it.

Any suggestions please?

Best Regards,

Jim G

Jim,

If you need to use this functionality a fair bit, Assets and Assets-IDE packages should come in handy. Your subclass of Assets can ‘sync’ a directory, but you may need to define additional #import_extension:’s to call #importBytes: on itself.

Hope this helps,

-Boris

Take a look at the Assets package.
