I really doubt you can do this. The source code is not a 'resource'..When you execute the app they are in binary form.. there is no code in there..

If you need to do display something that you know already - try storing the text/code you intend to display in a plain file and display..

NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"TextCheck.m" ofType:@"m"];

Replace the code as below line :

NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"TextCheck" ofType:@"m"];
