problem in reading text file with iphone sdk

i m trying to read a text file from my app bundle the contents of file are:

1234567890

but when i display the string after reading its like this:

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\cocoartf1038\cocoasubrtf320 {\fonttbl\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Helvetica;} {\colortbl;\red255\green255\blue255;} \pard\tx566\tx1133\tx1700\tx2267\tx2834\tx3401\tx3968\tx4535\tx5102\tx5669\tx6236\tx6803\ql\qnatural\pardirnatural

\f0\fs24 \cf0 1234567890 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }

how can i get the exact string and not the garbage ? my code is this:

NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"pankaj"    ofType:@"rtf"];  
  if (filePath) {  
  NSString *myText = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:filePath];  

 if (myText) {  
  NSLog(@"%@",myText); 
 }  
 }

You are reading a rich-text formatted resource (rtf) as plain text. The string you get is the plain text representation of that rtf resource.

Why don't you add the file as a plain text file?
