Plist file path error? - iphone

Question

I am trying to save an NSMutableArray containing text to a plist file using this code:
- (IBAction)saveDoc:(id)sender
{
NSString *typedText = typingArea.text;
NSMutableArray *totalFiles = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:typedText, nil];
NSLog(#"Created: %#", totalFiles);
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *path = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"savedFiles.plist"];
NSLog(#"Found Path: %#", path);
//[totalFiles addObject:typedText];
[totalFiles writeToFile:path atomically:YES];
NSLog(#"File Written: %# to: %#", totalFiles, path);
[totalFiles release];
NSLog(#"Released: %#", totalFiles);
}
All of the NSLogs return appropriate values as expected. I use this code to crate a new NSMutableArray with the contents of the plist:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
file = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"savedFiles" ofType:#"plist"];
NSLog(#"Got Path: %#", file);
array = [NSMutableArray arrayWithContentsOfFile:file];
NSLog(#"Loaded Array into new array: %#", array);
//UIAlertView *alert = [[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"fdsfasdf" message:[dic objectForKey:#"item1"] delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"ldfghjfd" otherButtonTitles:nil] autorelease];
//[alert show];
[super viewDidLoad];
// Uncomment the following line to display an Edit button in the navigation bar for this view controller.
//self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;
}
The NSLogs in this code come back with a slightly different path than the first one returned with. It also said the array is (null)
How should I load the contents from a plist file?
Thanks in advance,

Try initialising your array first:
array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:file];
