Bear with me as I try to describe this. I'm creating a trivia game in Xcode which reads questions, answer choices, and the correct answer expected from a file. The file contains 20 questions worth of data separated by an asterisk (*) for each line. The first line is the question, the next four lines are the choices, and the last line is the correct answer (this format is repeated for each question).

In the code I create a string (questionFileContents) which contains all the text from the text file containing the questions.

In my createArrays() method I create a new array which contains each piece of the file as a separate string (determined by where the * is). I create a new array which contains 6 pieces of info (question, choices, and the correct answer) - this array gets loaded into the arrayOfArrays once it is full with the 6 pieces of info and then it moves on to adding a new array with another 6 pieces of info.

Hopefully, that makes sense.

The problem that I am getting is that when I use print(arrayOfArrays.count) it states that I only have 17 items within that array even though I should be getting 20 (for each of the 20 different questions). When I add a bunch of empty text to the text file (equivalent to the number of questions the arrayOfArrays was disregarding) it then disregards that and includes the questions which it had been disregarding before. So... what is causing the arrayOfArrays to not contain the 20 items it should be containing? Is this a compiler error, if not, where is my logic wrong?

I've included my code as well as the text file from which I am reading the question contents.

Thanks in advance!
