1,540 PointsSaving Core Data to a CSV or Text File
I'm hoping someone here can help me with a little problem I've been having with my app.
I created an app that allows teachers to enter data on their students. I'm using Core Data to manage data; there are currently two entities, one that maintains a list of students and a second that maintains a list of tracked data per student (a one-to-many relationship, students to tracked data).
Everything saves and fetches perfectly. My problem is that I would like to give users the ability to save their data to CSV, or just a delimited text file, so they can chart and work with their data in Excel (and the like). Here is where I'm running into problems: when I try to save the data to a file, I'm getting a relationship fault and my app isn't creating my file.
As I understand it, a fault are Objective C's way of referencing data quickly. If that's so, how can I fetch the actual data and not the fault?
I've been banging my head against a wall for a week trying to figure this out. Has anyone else run into this issue?
